SUMMARY
The discussion centers on solving a mechanics problem involving particles under the force F = rK, where r is defined as 1/u and u as 1/r. The user attempted to define a new variable v = u^4 and u = v^(1/2) but encountered difficulties in manipulating these variables. The primary goal is to determine the radius (r) of the orbit of the particles. Clarification is sought regarding the definitions of r, K, and u, as well as the direction of the force.

I cannot make sense of the question. What do r, K and u represent? Which way does the force act?Another said:
Please state the entire question exactly as given to you. If it is a translation, try to be as complete and accurate as you can.
The ability to post images is really for diagrams and textbook extracts. Please take the trouble to type in your equations. The first image you posted was unreadabe.
