Abstract: The problem of equimomental systems of a rigid body is considered. It is shown that the system of four equal masses located at the vertices of an isosceles tetrahedron is equimomental to a given rigid body. A system of material points of equal masses located at the vertices of an isosceles tetrahedron, which is equimomental of cometary nuclei of 67P Churyumov-Gerasimenko, has been constructed.

Keywords: moments of inertia of a rigid body, equimomental systems of rigid bodies, isosceles tetrahedron, comet 67P Churyumov-Gerasimenko.
