2. Step-by-step explanation:

   When rotation is not about an arbitrary axis but along a principle x, y or z axis, the products of inertia both are 0, and so the angular momentum points along a principle axis. Why do they resolve to 0? The products of inertia are:

   −∑imi(xizi)

   −∑imi(yizi)

   How do these go to 0 if the angular momentum is along a principle axis

   mark me as an brain list please
