ANGULAR MOMENTUM AND TORQUE
Prove Theorem 7.4, page 168: The total external torque on a system of particles is equal to the time rate of change of angular momentum of the system, provided that the internal forces between particles are centeal forces.
as in equation (1) of Problem 7.4, we have
multiplying both sides of (1) by r+, we have
since
(2) becomes
Summing over v in (4), we find
Now the double sum in (5) is composed of terms such as
Which becomes on writing f=f according to Newton's third law,
Then since we suppose that the forces are central, i.e. f has the same direction as r-r, it follows that (7) is zero and also that the double sum in (5) is zero. Thus equation (5) becomes
where
