Get started for freeFor the point mass m we considered in (4.2) to (4.4), the velocity is so the kinetic energy is.Show that T can be written in matrix notation as where I is the inertia matrix, is a column matrix, and is a row matrix with elements equal to the components of
Show that is a tensor and find its rank (assuming that T and S are tensors of the rank indicated by the indices).
Carry through the details of getting from and . Hint: You need the dot product of and . This is the cosine of an angle between two axes since each eis a unit vector. Identify the result from matrixAin .
