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.
In equation (5.16), show that if is a tensor (that is, not a pseudotensor), then is a pseudovector (axial vector). Also show that if is a pseudotensor, then is a vector (true or polar vector). You know that if role="math" localid="1659251751142" is a cross product of polar vectors, then it is a pseudovector. Is its dual a tensor or a pseudotensor?
Show that the first parenthesis in (3.5) is a symmetric tensor and the second parenthesis is antisymmetric.
In spherical coordinates.
Inwe have written the first row of elements in the inertia matrix. Write the formulas for the other6elements and compare with Section 4.
