Heres example 10.2
(3) (30 points) In Example 10.2, the moment of inertia tensor for a uniform solid cube of mass Mand side a is calculated for rotation about a corner of the cube. It also worked out the angular momentum of the cube when rotated about the x-axis - see Equation 10.51. (a) Find the total kinetic energy of the cube when rotated about the x-axis. (b) Example 10.4 finds the principal axes of this cube. It shows that...
Consider a cylindrical capacitor like that shown in Fig. 24.6. Let d = rb − ra be the spacing between the inner and outer conductors. (a) Let the radii of the two conductors be only slightly different, so that d << ra. Show that the result derived in Example 24.4 (Section 24.1) for the capacitance of a cylindrical capacitor then reduces to Eq. (24.2), the equation for the capacitance of a parallel-plate capacitor, with A being the surface area of...
