Question 1

A rod of mass 5kg and length 2m is rotating about its end with an angular velocity of 3 rad/s. Calculate the moment of inertia tensor for the rod and its angular momentum.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Refer to standard formulas for moments of inertia.

Question 2

Analyze the conical motion of a pendulum with a fixed mass and variable length to represent how angular momentum varies with the changing angle. What implications does this have for stability?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Use geometrical properties to understand the motion of the pendulum!
