An extension of the method devised by Monaghan and Roxburgh (1965) for rapidly rotating polytropes is used to study the structure of the primary component of a synchronous close binary system. Results are presented for polytropes of index 1.5, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 and 4.9. We conclude that the extended Monaghan and Roxburgh method can be applied to real stars which are perturbed by both tidal and rotational forces.
