Two equal point masses M are connected by a massless rigid rod of length 2A a dumbbell which is constrained to rotate about an axle fixed to the center of the rod at an angle Fig 1 134 The center of the rod is at the origin of coordinates the axle along the z axis and the dumbbell lies in the zz plane at t 0 The angular velocity w is a constant in time and is directed along the z axis a Calculate all elements of the inertia tensor Be sure to specify the coordinate system you use
