Why a spinning top does not fall: torque, angular momentum and precession, in three sessions.
- Session 1: A spinning wheel resists being tilted (Level 1, 60 min)
- Session 2: The precession formula and a design problem (Level 2, 75 min)
- Session 3: Simulating the heavy top: Euler angles, precession and nutation (Level 3, 90 min)
