The problem is restricted in the sense that the fourth body is assumed to be of infinitesimal mass.

The location of the planar equilibrium points according to this model is numerically studied for Sun–Earth–Moon system. The position of the triangular equilibrium points are also obtained analytically and graphically compared with numerically obtained values. Both the graphical and analytical studies confirms the high dependence of the position of the triangular equilibrium points on radiation pressure, however the collinear points were found to be less affected. The collinear points were found to be more affected by the oblateness of the second primary.

The spatial form of equilibrium figures as triaxial ellipsoids is found by an analytical and numerical method. The spin rotation of ellipsoidal equilibrium figures is established to occur not around small axes, as is usually assumed, but around the middle axes of the ellipsoids.

The motion of the fourth body of negligible mass (infinitesimal mass) is effected by the motion of the primaries, and its motion is perturbed by the radiation pressure and Stokes drag. All the primaries are established at the vertices of an equilateral triangle and known as Lagrangian configuration. The dynamics of an infinitesimal body has been studied under the influences of radiation pressure of all the primaries with Stokes drag and variable mass. Jeans’ law and space time transformations of Meshcherskii have been used to formulate the equations of motion of the infinitesimal body. We have numerically investigated the existence and locations of the equilibrium points in the theoretical ranges of the parameters. The numerical investigations delved that all the equilibrium points are non-collinear, the collinear equilibrium points do not exist due to the presence of Stokes drag. Further, we have observed that all the equilibrium points are unstable for all values of the parameters considered. Moreover, the regions of motion have been drawn for different values of the parameters, i.e., for the radiation parameters <span>({{q}_{i}} (0 &lt; {{q}_{i}} &lt; 1),)</span> <span>(i = 1,2,3)</span>, the proportionality constant <span>(alpha (0 &lt; alpha leqslant 2.2))</span> occurs due to Jeans’ law, the mass parameter <span>(mu (0 &lt; mu leqslant 1{text{/}}3))</span>, and for the dissipative constant <span>(k (0 &lt; k &lt; 1))</span>.
