The rocket is used for atmospheric research. Its weight and its moment of inertia about the z axis through its center of mass (including its fuel) are 10,000 lb and 10,200 slug-ft2, respectively. The rocket’s fuel weighs 6000 lb, its center of mass is located at .x = –3 ft, y = 0, z = 0, and the moment of inertia of the fuel about the axis through the fuel’s center of mass parallel to the z axis is 2200 slug-ft2. When the fuel is exhausted, what is the rocket’s moment of inertia about the axis through its new center of mass parallel to the z axis?
