Chapter 18.3, Problem 18.143P

Consider a rigid body of arbitrary shape that is attached at its mass center O and subjected to no force other than its weight and the reaction of the support at O.

(a) Prove that the angular momentum HO of the body about the fixed point O is constant in magnitude and direction, that the kinetic energy T of the body is constant, and that the projection along HO of the angular velocity ω of the body is constant.

(b) Show that the tip of the vector ω describes a curve on a fixed plane in space (called the invariable plane), which is perpendicular to HO and at a distance 2T/HO from O.

(c) Show that with respect to a frame of reference attached to the body and coinciding with its principal axes of inertia, the tip of the vector ω appears to describe a curve on an ellipsoid of equation

I x ω x 2 + I y ω y 2 + I z ω z 2 = 2 T = constant

The ellipsoid (called the Poinsot ellipsoid) is rigidly attached to the body and is of the same shape as the ellipsoid of inertia, but of a different size.

Consider a rigid body initially at rest and subjected to an impulsive force F contained in the plane of the body. We define the center of percussion P as the point of intersection of the line of action of F with the perpendicular drawn from G(a) Show that the instantaneous center of rotation C of the body is located on line GP at a distance GC = k2/GP on the opposite side of G. (b)  Show that if the center of percussion were located at C, the instantaneous center of rotation would be located at P.
If the earth were a sphere, the gravitational attraction of the sun, moon, and planets would at all times be equivalent to a single force R acting at the mass center of the earth. However, the earth is actually an oblate spheroid and the gravitational system acting on the earth is equivalent to a force R and a couple M. Knowing that the effect of the couple M is to cause the axis of the earth to precess about the axis GA at the rate of one revolution in 25 800 years, determine the average magnitude of the couple M applied to the earth. Assume that the average density of the earth is 5.51 g/cm 3 , that the average radius of the earth is 6370 km, and that  ( Note: This forced precession is known as the precession of the equinoxes and is not to be confused with the free precession discussed in Prob. 18.123.)
