Generalized Papapetrou's equations of motion for an extended test body within static and isotropic metrics

Abstract: Applying Dixon's general equations of motion for extended bodies, we compute the Papapetrou's equations for an extended test body on static and isotropic metrics. We incorporate the force and the torque terms which involve multipole moments, beyond dipole moment, from the energy-momentum tensor. We obtain the vector form equations for both Corinaldesi-Papapetrou and Tulczyjew-Dixon spin supplementary conditions. An expanded effective mass, including interactions between the structure of the body and the gravitational field, is also found.
