Chapter 21: Three-Dimensional Kinetics of a Rigid Body

"When studying the planar kinetics of a body, it was necessary to introduce the moment of inertia IG, which was computed about an axis perpendicular to the pane of motion and passing through the body�s mass center G. For the kinetic analysis of three-dimensional motion it will sometimes be necessary to calculate six inertial quantities. These terms, called the moments and products of inertia, describe in a particular way the distribution of mass for a body relative to a given coordinate system that has a specific orientation and point of origin."
