2. Consider the "Comprehensive Example" in the slides ("Rigid Body_L11"). Using the numbers given in L11 answer the following questions:
a) Find the mass center of the system, relative to the \( b^{\prime}\)' frame. Give your answer as a Gibbs vector expressed in the b' frame. (10\%)
b) Find the inertia matrix of the system, about the mass center of the cylinder, and relative to the b' frame. (10\%)
c) Find the inertia matrix of the system about the mass center of the composite body and relative to the b' frame. (10\%)
d) Find the principal axes and principal moments of inertia of the composite body. You may find the Matlab function \([\mathrm{V},\mathrm{D}]=\operatorname{eig}(\mathrm{I})\) useful in solving this problem. \((10\%)\)
