MHB How are Moments and Products of Inertia Related to the Center of Mass?

AI Thread Summary
Moments and products of inertia are crucial for understanding rotational dynamics, particularly when calculated about the center of mass. The equation H(c) = -I(yz)ŵe(y) - I(xz)ŵe(x) + I(z)ŵe(z) expresses the relationship between these inertia measures and angular momentum. To prove this, one must analyze the definitions and properties of inertia tensors in relation to the center of mass. Clarification on the symbols used in the equation is also necessary for a comprehensive understanding. Understanding these concepts is essential for solving problems in mechanics effectively.

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?
 

Thread 'Non-orthogonal bases'

Suppose ,instead of the usual x,y coordinate system with an I basis vector along the x -axis and a corresponding j basis vector along the y-axis we instead have a different pair of basis vectors ,call them e and f along their respective axes. I have seen that this is an important subject in maths My question is what physical applications does such a model apply to? I am asking here because I have devoted quite a lot of time in the past to understanding convectors and the dual...

Thread 'What Exactly is Dirac’s Delta Function? - Insight'

Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
