Homework Statement
Find the shape of the solid of revolution with the minimum moment of inertia about it's axis, given the volume is fixed.
Homework Equations
I=\int\frac{1}{2}r^2dm=\int\frac{1}{2}r^2\rho~dV=\int\frac{\rho\pi}{2}r^4dz
V=\int \pir^2dz
I+\lambda V must be stationary.
The Attempt at a Solution
However, when I apply the E-L equs nothing meaningful comes out.
