SolidRocketInertia:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Computes the inertia and inertia derivative for a solid rocket.
   Assumes a uniform density. Also assumes that the inner surface is a 
   cylinder. Burning is on the entire inside surface. 

   mDot must be negative.

   Type SolidRocketInertia

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Form:
   [i, iDot, bDot] = SolidRocketInertia( m, mDot, a, b, rho, h )
