Consider a cylinder of mass M, radius R and length L. (a) Calculate the inertia tensor for rotations about the center of mass in the frame where the z axis is along the axis of the cylinder. Use cylindrical coordinates, where x = r cos θ and y = r sin θ. (b) Find the inertia tensor in the frame where the center of the “bottom side” is at the origin with the z axis along the axis of the...

1. Consider a solid cone with uniform density p, height h, and circular base with radius R (hence mass M,sphR2). Let the vertex of the cone be the origin ofthe body frame. By symmetry, choose basis vectors e for the body frame such that the inertia tensor I, is diagonal. Will this rigid body with this body origin be an asymmetric top, a symmetric top, or a spherical top? Calculate the inertia tensor in this basis How will the inertia...
