Abstract We obtain an integral form of the Papapetrou equations, which describes the motion of an extended body in an external gravitational field. Using the Fock method, we calculate an explicit form for the components of the spin tensor and derive relativistic equations of rotational motion in the Schwarzschild space V4. We show that the spin of the body becomes proportional not only to the angular velocity but also to the angular momentum. Thus, induced rotation also follows from the Papapetrou equations.
