Go through the equations using the substitution to make ODE's

Start with the continuity equation.  We make the substitutions and we are pleased to see that the θ dependance of every term is the same.  So far the "guessed" form of the solution is working.  

Now let's work on the momentum equations,

back to objectives(mathematical)

We can now eliminate G(s) and its derivatives with the results from the continuity equation.
