It would help if we know your background. (Posting your education in your profile helps.)
The subject starts simply but it gets more complicated with gyroscopic precession and even more complicated when there are cross-coupled inertial moments.

You might look at this and see if you can get started on it and if you get stuck somewhere. Then ask more specific questions: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angular_momentum
