This process comes in torque-free and torque-induced varieties, and is commonly illustrated using a gyroscope.
In this phenomenon, the exterior of the body cone moves strictly over the exterior of the space cone. During this process, the second Euler angle remains constant, and in one version of this phenomenon has a omega proportional to the ratio of two perpendicular moments of inertia times one minus the cosine of this angle. One version of this phenomenon arises because the velocity addition formula is not associative, and is a correction to the spin-orbit interaction. Another version of this phenomenon has a frequency equal to M g L over I omega. Large frequencies in this process give rise to up-and-down bobbing motions called nutation. This process comes in torque-free and torque-induced varieties, and is commonly illustrated using a gyroscope. For 10 points, name this phenomenon in which the angular momentum vector of a spinning object traces out a circle.
In this phenomenon, the exterior of the body cone moves strictly over the exterior of the space cone.
