Physics

two masses m1 and m2 move under their mutual gravitationattraction in a uniform external gravitational field whoseacceleration is g. Choose as coordinates the cartesian coordinatesX, Y, Z, of the center of mass (taking Z in the direction of g),the distance r between m1 and m2, and the polar angles θ and φwhich specify the direction of the line from m1 to m2. Writeexpressions for the kinetic energy, the six forces Q_x, ... ,Q_φand the six momenta. Write out the six Lagrange equations ofmotion.
