A general formalism for the dynamics of unrooted systems is presented using a tensorial approach. A definition of new global inertia tensors (GITs) is given. The GITs of order zero are known as the reduced mass of the system. Finally, a recursive method is presented for evaluation of GITs of order one and two, and a new formula for generalized forces in a central Newtonian force field is proposed.
