Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A satellite in orbit has an irregular shape and experiences torque due to gravitational forces. How would you analyze its motion considering the moment of inertia tensor?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about the gravitational forces acting unevenly based on the satellite's shape.

Question 2

Describe how the angular momentum of a spinning top changes when external forces are applied. Include a discussion on precession.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Remember how a spinning top behaves when you push it slightly.
