Abstract

We use Dixon's general equations of motion for extended bodies to compute the Papapetrou's equations for an extended test body in Schwarzschild space-time. We incorporate the force and torque terms which involve multipolar moments. The Corinaldesi-Papapetrou spin supplementary condition is introduced to obtain the equations of motion in the rest frame of the Schwarzschild field.
