    Finding the Moment of Inertia for a Rectangular Sheet

    Homework Statement The horizontal side (x-axis) is length 2A and the vertical side (y-axis at x=+-A) is length B. The mass is uniform throughout the sheet so that the center of mass is at the center of the rectangle. What is the moment of inertia for. the rotation around the z-axis at the...

    How to find tangential and normal acceleration?

    Homework Statement The problem asks for the tangential and normal acceleration of the acceleration. We were given that: $$a_x=c*cos[d*t]$$ and $$a_y=c*sin[d*t]$$ where c and d are constants. Homework Equations The book gives us $$a_t=(r\ddot{\theta}+2\dot{r}\dot{\theta})$$, (1)...
