Abstract:

A computer program to calculate the mass, center of gravity location, and moments of inertia of a system of coacial bodies of revolution is presented. The derivation of equations used by the program, instructions for setting up inputs, and a sample case are also given. For asymmetric body techniques see AD730682.
