When the rigid body is not symmetrical, an analytic solution to Euler’s equation for the torque-free motion cannot be given in terms of elementary functions. Show, however, that the conservation of energy and angular momentum can be used to obtain expressions for the body components of ω in terms of elliptic integrals.
