... where m is the mass of the object, a is the linear acceleration, I, is the mass moment of inertia and α is the angular acceleration of the object. The link-segment model is broken down at the joints into segments which are treated separately as rigid bodies, creating a free-body diagram (Figure 2.2) ...

That means nothing undergoes a non negligible elevation change in the process, so, gravitational potential energy is not relevant here. The new spin rate is clearly less than the origina ...

Hunting oscillation
Hunting oscillation is a self-oscillation, usually unwanted, about an equilibrium. The expression came into use in the 19th century and describes how a system ""hunts"" for equilibrium. The expression is used to describe phenomena in such diverse fields as electronics, aviation, biology, and railway engineering.
