... L (α is half the opening angle of the cone swept out by Ω). Express α in terms of θ , the principal moments of inertia and the magnitude of angular momentum L. How does α depend on time and L? (b) h3i Suppose I1 → I3 so that the symmetric top becomes a spherical top. Based on our study of the spheri ...
