Google is your friend! :smile:
 
To make a satellite?

that wasn't your original Q,

As berkeman suggested, google your Q then come back with references to anything you didn't understand
and see if some one can guide your through :smile:

I have recently been really interested in the derivation of Hamiltons Principle. On my research I found that with the term ##m \cdot \frac{d}{dt} (\frac{dr}{dt} \cdot \delta r) = 0## (1) one may derivate ##\delta \int (T - V) dt = 0## (2). The derivation itself I understood quiet good, but what I don't understand is where the equation (1) came from, because in my research it was just given and not derived from anywhere. Does anybody know where (1) comes from or why from it the...
