Nura,*, S. X. K. Howusu, L. W. Lumbi 3, I. Nuhu 4, A. Hayatu Department of Physics, University of Maiduguri, Maiduguri, Nigeria Theoretical Physics Program, National Mathematical Centre Abuja, Nigeria 3 Department of Physics Nassarawa State University, Keffi, Keffi, Nigeria 4 M.Sc Program, Department of Physics, University of Jos, Jos, Nigeria Abstract In this paper we introduced super general geodesic equation and golden metric tensors. We derived linear velocity vector and linear acceleration vector using golden metric tensor in spherical polar coordinates. Coefficients of affine connection were evaluated based upon golden metric tensor. Based on the evaluated linear velocity vector and acceleration vector, we obtained super general geodesic planetary equation in terms of r, θ, ϕ and x 0 to obtain Riemannian acceleration due to gravity in terms of r, θ, ϕ and x 0 known as gravitational scalar potential that played an important role in dealing with planetary phenomenon. Also in this paper we derived generalized planetary equations based upon Riemannian geometry and the golden metric tensor. The planetary equation obtain in this paper contained Newton s planetary equation, Einstein s planetary equation and the added or contribution term to the existing planetary equations known as post Newton s planetary equation and post Einstein s planetary equation. Whose solution of these equations will be consider in the next edition of this paper. Keywords Golden metric tensor, Geodesic equation, Coefficient of affine connection, Newton s planetary equation, Einstein s planetary equation. Introduction The properties of geodesics differ from those of straight lines. For example, on a plane, parallel lines never meet, but this is not so far geodesics on the surface of the earth. For example, lines of longitude are parallel at the equator, but intersect at the poles. Analogously, the world lines of test particles in free fall are space time geodesics, the straightest possible lines in space time. But still there are crucial differences between them and the truly straight lines that can be traced out in the gravity-free space time of special relativity []. Einstein s equations are the centre piece of general relativity. They provide a precise formulation of the relationship between space time geometry and the properties of matter, using the language of mathematics. More concretely, they are formulated using the concepts of Riemannian geometry, in which the geometric properties of a space (or a space time) are described by a quantity called a metric. The metric encodes the information needed to compute the fundamental geometric notions of distance and angle in a curved space (or space time) []. The metric function and its rate of change from point to point can be * Corresponding author: nuraphy@gmail.com (Y. Nura) Published online at Copyright 07 Scientific & Academic Publishing. All Rights Reserved defining a geometrical quantity called the Riemann curvature tensor, which describes exactly how the space (or space time) is curved at each point. In general relativity, the metric and the Riemann curvature tensor are quantities define at each point in space time. It is based on the above argument explanation. Howusu introduced, by postulation, a second natural and satisfactorily generalization or extension of the Schwarzschild s metric tensor from the gravitational fields of all static homogeneous spherical distribution of mass to the gravitational fields of all spherical distributions of mass-named as the golden metric tensor for all gravitational fields in nature [3].. Golden Metric Tensor In this paper we introduced golden metric tensor for all gravitational fields in nature as follows [4]. The covariant form of all golden metric tensor for all gravitational fields in nature as g = + c f(r, θ, ϕ, x0 ) (.) g = r + c f(r, θ, ϕ, x0 ) (.) g 33 = r sin θ + f(r, θ, ϕ, c x0 ) (.3) g 00 = + c f(r, θ, ϕ, x0 ) (.4)

Formulation of the General Dynamical Laws of Gravitation It is well known that all of Newton s dynamical laws of gravitation are founded on the experimental physical facts available in his day. The instantaneous active mass m A passive mass m P and the inertial mass m I of a particle of non-zero rest mass m 0 are given by: m A = m P = m I = m 0 (3.) In all proper inertial reference frames and proper times. This statement may be called Newton s principle of mass. According to the classic scientific method introduced by G. Galileo (the father of mechanics) and Newton the natural laws of mechanics are determined by experimental physical facts. Therefore today s experimental revisions of the definitions of inertial, passive and active masses of a particle on non-zero rest mass induce a corresponding revision of Newton s dynamical laws of gravitation which are now formulated (Howusu, 99).

Riemannian Acceleration Due to Gravity Riemannian acceleration due to gravity in terms of r, θ, ϕ and x 0 is given by [0] a H + d [(m (m I ) H dτ I) H ] u H = g H (5.) Where a H = Riemannian acceleration vector [6] u H = Riemannian velocity vector g H = Riemannian acceleration due to gravity (m I ) H = Riemannian inertial mass Using u r = g r = + c f r and a r = a + c f (5.) From equation (4.37) that is a r = + c r c + c f f, (r ) r + c f θ rsin θ + c f ϕ Hence Riemannian radial acceleration due to gravity is given by a r + d [(m (m I ) r dτ I) r ] u r = g r (5.3) Putting (4.37) into equation (5.3) we have + c r + c c f f, (r ) r + f θ rsin θ + f ϕ + d [(m c c (m I ) r dτ I) r ] + c r = g r (5.4) Riemannian θ acceleration due to gravity is given by a θ + d [(m (m I ) θ dτ I) θ ] u θ = g θ (5.5) Putting equation (4.38) into equation (5.5) we get + c f r θ + r θ sin θ cos θ ϕ + d [(m r (m I ) θ dτ I) θ ] + c f θ = g θ (5.6) Riemannian ϕ acceleration due to gravity is given by a ϕ + d (m (m I ) ϕ dτ I) ϕ u ϕ = g ϕ (5.7) Putting equation (4.39) into equation (5.7) we get + c f rsinθ ϕ + r θ + cot θ θ ϕ + d (m r (m I ) ϕ dτ I) ϕ rsinθ + c f ϕ = g ϕ (5.8) Riemannian x 0 acceleration due to gravity is given by a 0 + d [(m (m I ) 0 dτ I) 0 ] u 0 = g 0 (5.9) Putting equation (4.40) into equation (5.9) we have

Conclusions and Results In this paper we have succeeded in deriving equations [(3.0)-(3.3)] which referred to as velocity vectors equations based upon the golden metric tensors. We further obtained equations [(4.6)-(4.9)] which referred to as linear acceleration vector equations. Also in this paper concerted effort were made in order to obtained equation (5.5), (5.6), (5.7) and (5.8) are referred to as general gravitational intensity (or acceleration due to gravity) based upon the golden metric tensor in spherical polar coordinates. The results obtained in this paper are now available for both physics and mathematician alike to apply them in solving planetary problems based upon Riemannian geometry. More effort and time are being devoted in order to offer solution to equations (5.5-(5.8) obtained in this paper. Also in this paper we offered solution to equation (7.8) which gives rise to azimuthal angle equation along the equatorial plane. Solution of equation (7.7) obtained also in this paper which leads as to equations (8.8) and (8.9). Equation (8.8) is referred to as post Newton s planetary equation while, equation (8.9) referred to as post Einstein s planetary equations. These equations played an important role in planetary phenomena if handle properly. This paved the way for applied mathematician and physics to investigate the implications of those equations. We hope to offer solution of those equations using a powerful method of successive approximation in the next edition of this paper. Appendix A Expansion of t, t and t to order of c.
