- Determine the principal moments of inertia (w.r.t. CM) of a
tetrahedral molecule. The distance between each of the four atoms
is a
and each has a mass m.
- Determine the principal moments of inertia (w.r.t. CM) of a rod
of length L
and mass M.
(Neglect the thickness of the rod.)
- Find the kinetic energy of a cyllinder (with radius R), rolling
without slipping on a horizontal surface. The mass of the
cyllinder is distributed in such a way that one of the principal axes
of inertia are parallel with the axis of the cyllinder but displaced by
distance a
from it; the moment of inertia with respect of this principal axis is I.
