[UPSC IFoS 2011] Rigid Body Dynamics (Q219, 20M)
A rigid body rotates with the angular velocity '\omega' about an axis through the origin O and having direction cosines l, m, n. Show that the moment of inertia of the rigid body about the axis is I = I_{xx} l^2 + I_{yy} m^2 + I_{zz} n^2 + 2 I_{xy} l . m + 2 I_{yz} m . n + 2 I_{zx} n . l where the symbols have their usual meanings.
