Description: This monograph establishes formulas for the centroidal vector and the inertia tensor of a mass distribution which is uniform on the surface of a general spherical triangle. These results supplement formula-lists for useful, fundamental mass distributions such as that given in E. A. Milne's VECTORIAL MECHANICS. (Author)
