where [q.sub.j] is defined to be the time derivative of [q.sub.j], it is the j-th generalized velocity, [MATHEMATICAL EXPRESSION NOT REPRODUCIBLE IN ASCII] is the partial velocity of the i-th particle to the j-th generalized velocity.
Formulas (23) can be used to obtain the generalized displacement [D.sub.0] and the generalized velocity [[??].sub.0], which are substituted into Formula (20) to obtain the generalized initial acceleration:
