In a test of the solar panels for a spacecraft, the model shown is rotated about the vertical axis at the angular rate w. If the mass per unit area of panel is p, write the expression for the angular momentum H_O of the assembly about the axes shown in terms of θ. Also determine the maximum, minimum, and intermediate values of the moment of inertia about the axes through O. The combined mass of both panels is m.
