A body of mass m moves under the influence of a force F in two dimensions. It has an trajectory
r(t) = aCos(wt)x^ + bSin(wt)y^
a = alpha
b = beta
w = omega, they are not a, b, and w in alphabet
x^,y^: vector unit
a,b,w are constant. Find the force law F = F(r) which corresponds to this motion (This trajectory is an ellipse, but not Keplerian ellipse. Newton's Law of Gravitaion is not the force law you seek here).
