Summary

In this paper the differential equation regarding the mass-centre motion of a continuously variable system of particles is found. This equation, being obtained first for the case of a system with one point of mass variation, is then generalized for variable systems having any number of points where change of mass takes place. Three simple examples are also given.

Übersicht

In dieser Arbeit wird die Bewegungsgleichung des Massenzentrums eines kontinuierlich veränderlichen Systems von Massenpunkten bestimmt. Diese Gleichung wird zuerst bestimmt für den Fall, daß die Änderung der Masse des Systems nur an einer Stelle stattfindet. Anschließend wird die obige Gleichung verallgemeinert für Systeme, in denen die Änderung der Masse an mehreren Stellen geschieht. Zuletzt werden drei einfache Beispiele gegeben.
