Abstract
In the first part of this monograph we considered the differential variational principles, especially the Lagrange-D’Alembert principle. This principle is based upon the local characteristics of motion; that is, the relations between its scalar and vector characteristics are considered simultaneously in one particular inst ant of time. The problem of describing the global characteristics of motion has been reduced to the integration of differential equations of motion.
