7%* = 500 +1252 +500353 kg-met Let n be fixed in the inertial frame N and S, define body-fixed unit vectors parallel to central principal axes of inertia. $2 (a) For this vehicle, compute the semi-diameters of the corresponding inertia ellipsoid. Plot three planar projections of the energy ellipsoid: , S, S. Can you plot a 3D image in Matlab? In each plot, mark the axis of symmetry. One of the projections is circular. What does that tell you? Is this body more "rod-like" or "disk-like"? (b) Assume that the vehicle inertia characteristics are modified to be 7%* = 300 +500+300 kg-met Now compute the semi-diameters of the corresponding inertia ellipsoid for these new vehicle characteristics. Again, plot three planar projections of the energy ellipsoid: , S- 3. Can you plot a 3D image in Matlab? In each plot, mark the axis of symmetry. One of the projections is circular. What does that tell you? Is this body more "rod-like" or "disk-like"? 7%* = 500 +1252 +500353 kg-met Let n be fixed in the inertial frame N and S, define body-fixed unit vectors parallel to central principal axes of inertia. $2 (a) For this vehicle, compute the semi-diameters of the corresponding inertia ellipsoid.
