Generalize Problem 3 to see that the direct product of any two isotropic tensors (or a direct product contracted) is an isotropic tensor. For example show thatis an isotropic tensor (what is its rank?) andis an isotropic tensor (what is its rank?).
Show that, in polar coordinates, thecontravariant component of dsis which is unitless, the physical component of ds is which has units of length, and thecovariant component of ds iswhich has units role="math" localid="1659265070715" .
In equation , find whether is a vector or a pseudovector assuming
(a) A, B, C are all vectors
(b) A, B, C are all pseudovectors
(c) A is a vector and B and C are pseudovectors.
Hint: Count up the number of det A factors from pseudovectors and cross products.
Following what we did in equations (2.14) to (2.17), show that the direct product of a vector and a -rank tensor is a -rank tensor. Also show that the direct product of two -rank tensors is a -rank tensor. Generalize this to show that the direct product of two tensors of ranks m and n is a tensor of rank m + n .
Find the inertia tensor about the origin for a mass of uniform density =1, inside the part of the unit sphere where and find the principal moments of inertia and the principal axes. Note that this is similar to Example 5 but the mass is both above and below the plane. Warning hint: This time don’t make the assumptions about symmetry that we did in Example 5.
