(Forgive me if this is in the wrong spot)
I understand how tensors transform. I can easily type a rule with the differentials of coordinates, say for strain.
I also know that the moment of inertia is a tensor.
But I cannot see how it transforms as does the standard rules of covariant, contravariant, etc.
Because the coordinates are INSIDE the integrals that define the moment of inertia.
yes, I expect it to be a tensor but I cannot see it . Could someone explain?
