Moment of inertia tensor of a solid elliptical cone - end of purple notebook derivation verified in green

Description

Moment of inertia tensor of a solid elliptical cone - end of purple notebook derivation verified in green

Usage

calc_inertia_ellcone(A, B, l, m)

Arguments

A	half height of the wide base (m)
B	half width of the wide base (m)
l	length of the cone (m)
m	mass of the cone (kg)

Value

a 3x3 matrix representing the moment of inertia tensor of a solid elliptical cone about the center of the wider base with z oriented towards the end.

CAUTION

Origin of the output tensor is NOT at the center of gravity but at the center of the base.
