SUMMARY

The relationship between moments and products of inertia with respect to the center of mass is defined by the equation H(c) = -I(yz)ŵe(y) - I(xz)ŵe(x) + I(z)ŵe(z). This equation illustrates how the inertia tensor components I(yz), I(xz), and I(z) contribute to the angular momentum H(c) when calculated around the center of mass. Understanding this relationship is crucial for solving problems in dynamics and mechanics involving rigid bodies.

I am working on this problem, they say if moments and products of inertia are computed with respect to the center of mass, the
H(c)= -I(yz)ŵe(y) - I(xz)ŵe(x) + I(z)ŵe(z) how can I prove this?

Whot?

What do those symbols mean?

Any thoughts?
