Show that the first parenthesis in (3.5) is a symmetric tensor and the second parenthesis is antisymmetric.
Elliptical cylinder.
As in (4.3) and (4.4), find the y and z components of (4.2) and the
other 6 components of the inertia tensor. Write the corresponding components
of the inertia tensor for a set of masses or an extended body as in (4.5).
The square matrix in equation is called the Jacobian matrix J; the determinant of this matrix is the Jacobian which we used in Chapter 5 , Section 4 to find volume elements in multiple integrals. (Note that as in Chapter 3, J represents a matrix; J in italics is its determinant.) For the transformation to spherical coordinates in localid="1659266126385" and show that . Recall that the spherical coordinate volume element is . Hint: Find and note that
As we did in (3.3) , show that the contracted tensor is a first-rank tensor, that is, a vector.
