Variable Mass Dynamics Of Celestial Bodies Revisited With Modification
Abstract
Whittaker1 introduced variable mass dynamics in Celestial Mechanics obtaining as Jacobi –Lagrange counterpart2 a differential equation involving the moment of inertia, where time is taken as the independent variable. Assuming a mass variation law depending on the masses  of the particles in motion and using their total mass as the independent variable in this paper, Lagrange’s  equation2,3 of motion and the aforesaid equation of Whittaker are reduced to some relevant forms.Downloads
