\documentclass[final]{exam-n} \begin{document} \begin{question}{30} \comment{by John Brown} Give the equations of motion for $i=1,\ldots, N$ particles of masses $m_i$ and positions $r_i(t)$ under the action of mutual gravity alone in an arbitrary inertial frame. \partmarks{4} Use these to derive the following conservation laws of the system: \part Constancy of linear momentum -- i.e., centre of mass fixed in a suitable inertial frame. \partmarks{4} \part Constancy of angular momentum. \partmarks{6} \part Constancy of total energy. \partmarks{8} How many integrals of motion exist in total? \partmarks{2} Derive the moment of inertia of the system and demonstrate its relevance to criteria for escape of particles from the system. \partmarks{6} \end{question} \end{document}
