Product moments of inertia-- what are they intuitively?
Hi,
I don't understand what the off-diagonal terms in the moment of inertia (tensor) matrix are intuitively...they are called the product moments of inertia...but if Ixx is the moment of inertia about the x axis, which axis is the Ixy about?
Please give an example, so that I can understand what these are intuitively.
