Get started for freeLet . Find , the a vectors, and for the u, v coordinate system and show that it is not an orthogonal system. Hint: Show that the vectors are not orthogonal, and that contains du dv terms. Write the matrix and observe that it is symmetric but not diagonal. Sketch the lines and observe that they are not perpendicular to each other.
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.
Interpret the elements of the matrices in Chapter 3, Problems 11.18 to11.21, as components of stress tensors. In each case diagonalize the matrix and so find the principal axes of the stress (along which the stress is pure tension or compression). Describe the stress relative to these axes. (See Example 1.)
Use equations (9.2), (9.8), and (9.11) to evaluate the following expressions. In spherical coordinates .
