Question
James Clerk ("CLARK") Maxwell created a parody of Robert Burns' poem "Comin' Thro the Rye" about how one these objects "Sings." For 10 points each:
[10m] Name these objects whose rotation is described by Euler's ("OILER’s") equations. In these objects, the distance between each pair of points remains constant at all times.
ANSWER: rigid bodies [or rigid objects]
[10e] Euler's equations describe the change of the angular velocity vector when this quantity is applied. This quantity is the rotational analogue of force.
ANSWER: torque [prompt on tau or M or N]
[10h] Euler's equations can be broken into three components when these objects define the reference frame. These objects are the eigenvectors of the inertia tensor.
ANSWER: principal axes [or principal axes of inertia; accept principal axis; prompt on axes or axis]
