// Given data
t=4;// s
theta=20;// degree
p=(2*%pi)/4;// rad/s

// Calculation
// (a)
// I_zz=(56/3)*mr^2;
// I_xx=(32/3)*mr^2;
// By using coefficient of I_xx and I_zz
I=56/3;// The moment of inertia
I_0=32/3;// The moment of inertia
costheta=1;// radian
n=I/((I_0-I)*costheta);// The ratio of angular rates
// (b)
tau=((2*%pi)/p)*abs(((I_0-I)/I)*cosd(theta));// s
beta=atand((I/I_0)*tand(theta));// degree
