The L-shaped object in Figure 10-21 can be rotated in one
Chapter 10, Problem 59P(choose chapter or problem)
The L-shaped object in Figure 10–21 can be rotated in one of the following three ways: case 1, rotation about the x axis; case 2, rotation about the y axis; and case 3, rotation about the
z axis (which passes through the origin perpendicular to the plane of the figure). Rank these three cases in order of increasing moment of inertia. Indicate ties where appropriate.
