Letting $\vec{r}=\begin{pmatrix}x(\theta)\\y(\theta)\end{pmatrix}$ and that $\vec{v}^\perp$ denote a vector perpendicular to the vector $\vec{v}$. Then are there values of $c,d$, with \vec{r}''+c(\vec{r}'^\perp)+d{1\over |\vec{r}|^3}\vec{r}=0, describing a circle for large enough $\theta$?

    What's the source of the problem? And you do realize that your definition of $\vec{v}^\perp$ doesn't fix $\vec{v}^\perp$ uniquely?2012-04-01

Assume that $v^\perp$ is $v$ turned counterclockwise. Then the vector $(\cos\theta, \sin\theta )$ satisfies the given equation provided that $-1-c+d=0$.

With the clockwise choice of orthogonal vector the condition becomes $-1+c+d$.
