The components of angular momentum are

(11) h1 = Ap, h2 = Aq, h3 = Cr + K,

where A, C denote the moment of inertia about Gx, Gz, and K is the

angular momentum of a fly-wheel fixed in the interior with its axis

parallel to Gz; K is taken as constant during the motion.

The axis Gz being fixed in the body,

(12) [theta]1 = p, [theta]2 = q = -d[theta]/dt,

[theta]3 = p cot [theta].
