Hi everyone Homework Statement I want to find out the moment of intertia tensor of the graphic below. Homework Equations parallel axis theorem The Attempt at a Solution We know the moment of inertia for one sphere, that's given, so I don't have to calculate it...

Yes thank you.I found me error in reasoning. :)

There was a mistake in my formula: V=\rho g[(h-h_{2}) \frac {h+h_{2}} {2}+(h-h_{1}) \frac {h+h_{1}}{2}] Thanks for the help. You both say I shall use the center of mass on both sides. I guess that's where the 1/2 comes from. My problem is here, if I want the center of mass of one side...

Hi everyone Homework Statement See picture in attachment. Homework Equations - The Attempt at a Solution well, the solution should be: V=\rho g[(h-h_{2}) \frac {h+h_{2}} {2}+(h-h_{1}) \frac {h-h_{1}}{2}] where rho is the density per length of the rope. I don't...
