A rigid body consists of eight particles, each of mass m, held together by light rods. In a certain coordinate frame the particles are at positions
±a(3, 1, −1), ±a(1, −1, 3), ±a(1, 3, −1), ±a(−1, 1, 3).
Show that, when the body rotates about an axis through the origin, if the angular velocity and angular momentum vectors are parallel then their ratio must be 40ma², 64ma² or 72ma².
