Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A rigid body is rotating freely in 3D. If the inertia tensor is represented as a diagonal matrix, describe how its rotation can be analyzed using Euler's equations.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Identify the key components of the inertia tensor in the equations.

Question 2

Assume a satellite's axis is exhibiting precessional motion. Calculate the torque required to maintain stable rotation if the angular velocity changes at 2 rad/s.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Link torque to inertia calculations based on angular velocity changes.
