1. A thin rectangular plate lies along the xy plane such that one corner is at the origin and has a density function of =(x+2y)2. It has a length of a units in the x direction and b units in the y direction. a) Find all of the components of the moment of inertia tensor in the coordinate system described. b) If it is rotated around an axis halfway between the positive x axis and the positive z axis, find its moment of inertia about that axis. From this point on, let a=250cm and b=750cm c) Find its principle moments of inertia d) Find the directions associated with these principle moments of inertia e) This plate is held in place by two supports such that it rotates along the diagonal of the plate in the xy plane. If it is rotated at a frequency of 3.0Hz, find the required torque. f) Find the angular momentum in this situation.
