Ellipsoidal mass distributions made by concentric, coaxial, and similar shells are described for two cases, namely, the entire range within limiting case of homogeneous systems and Roche-generalized systems. The isodensity surfaces are assumed to be concentric and coaxial ellipsoids with constant axis ratios, and two alternative laws are used to determine the change in density. The components of the related inertia tensor are calculated, and the dependence of the spin growth on the density distribution is shown.
