Show that the kinetic energy of a system of n particles is given by T = \frac{1}{2} M V_{\text{cm}}^2 + \frac{1}{2} \sum_{i=1}^n m_i {V'_i}^2 where M is the total mass, V_{\text{cm}} is the velocity of the centre of mass, V'_i is the velocity of the particles about the centre of mass and m_i is the mass of the i\text{th} particle.
