A thin square plate of mass 
with sides of length 
rotates freely about its centre-of-mass. Determine its principal axes and
principal moments of inertia. Hence use Euler's equations to show that
(a) the component 
of the angular velocity about the axis
perpendicular to the plate is a constant,
(b) the frequency of precession of
in the body-fixed frame is equal to .
