Abstract
In this study we have developed the classical four-body problem using a system of hyperspherical coordinates proposed by Ohm and Linderberg [Mol. Phys. 49, 53 (1982)]. Expressions are given for the canonical mo menta, principal moments of inertia, total angular momentum, kinetic e nergy, and, finally, the Hamilton equations of motion.
