2. **Pancake. In terms of ordinary Cartesian (x, y, z) coordinates, the inertia tensor of a thin, elongated, pancake-like object is Ma 2 0 2 - 050 20 3 (a) In what plane does the object lie? Within that plane, which of the (x, y, z) axes are closer to the long axis of the object? Sketch a pancake and draw the (x, y, z) axes on top of your sketch. (b) Find the principal axes in terms of the (x, y, z) coordinates. Sketch them with dotted or colored lines on the pancake. (c) Perform at least one check on your work. 2. **Pancake.
