Calculate the angular frequency w using the Euler equations

In summary, the conversation discusses calculating the angular frequency of the Earth using the Euler equations. The Earth is considered as a rigid body with three moments of inertia, two of which are symmetric around the z-axis. The person asking for help is reminded to make an attempt at solving the problem themselves before seeking further assistance.

Hi Mistur, welcome to the forum.

We can help you with your homework, but we won't just do it for you. You have to show that you made some attempt to do it yourself. Then we can give you some hints or help with places you are stuck.

Maybe as a start you could write down the Euler equations the problem refers to and attempt to identify the things in the problem that correspond to the items in the equation.
