With the help of introducing the concept of a representative point the general types of equations of motion that were obtained earlier for a particle are extended in this chapter to the case of motion of a system consisting of n particles. The general dynamics theorems making it possible to get the integrable combinations of equations of motion of a system in certain cases are proved.
