unresolved external symbol, C++

I'm getting an error when trying to build a project regarding unresolved external symbols, however I can't find out where my issue lies, anyone got any ideas? thanks

Tball.cpp

#include "Tball.h"
#include <Windows.h>
using namespace std;



Tball::Tball(){

 Position = TVector(70,0,70);
 Verlocity = TVector(1,0,1);

}

Tball.h

#ifndef Tball_h
#define Tball_h

#include <iostream>
#include "mathex.h"
#include "tvector.h"


class Tball
{

public:

static TVector Position;
static TVector Verlocity;


Tball();
static void DrawBall(float x, float y, float z);
static TVector MoveBall();
static void init();
static int loadbitmap(char *filename);
static void SurfaceNormalVector();
static double Tball::collision();
static void Tball::pointz();



};


#endif

Nothing I've tried seems to work for me.

Put this into your cpp:

TVector Tball::Position(/* contructor params */);
TVector Tball::Verlocity(/* contructor params */);

This make the "space" for these member static variables.
