Abstract

The dynamic behavior of a small tri-axial body acted upon by the Newtonian forces of N major bodies of spherical symmetry which forma planar ring configuration is studied in this paper. The equations of the translational-rotational motion of the minor body are derived and its equilibrium states as well as their stability are investigated.
