Given a homogeneous body of mass m and of arbitrary shape and three rectangular axes x, y and z. with origin at O, prove that the sum Ix + Iy + Iz of the mass moments of inertia of the body can­not be smaller than the similar sum computed for a sphere of the same mass and the same material centered at O. Further, using the result of Prob. 9.176, prove that if the body is a solid of revolu­tion, where x is the axis of revolution, its mass moment of inertia Iy about a transverse axis y cannot be smaller than 3ma2/10, where a is the radius of the sphere of the same mass and the same material.
