    Torque-Free Precession and Wobble direction

    So is this the difference between torque free precession = 2 wobble/1retrograde spin, vs roll or pure precession = 1wobble/1spin in same direction or zero spin?

    Torque-Free Precession and Wobble direction

    Hmm... I was asking more about Feynman's Wobbling Plate. Feynman said he observed the wobble at half the spin rate, but his equation says it's 2 wobbles per spin. Could both be true? From what I've read the wobble to spin ratio is determined by the size and shape, with the caveat as long as the...

    Torque-Free Precession and Wobble direction

    In Torque-Free Precession of a plate, can the direction of the Wobble be either in the spin direction or retrograde to it? For instance if you tossed the plate upward vs downward with the same spin direction. Would the wobble direction and frequency be inverse?
