Euler’s Angles
Every infinitesimal motion of a spinning top composes of variation of three y p g p p angles (generalized coordinates):
- 1. Rotation about e3 by dΦ - precession
2 Rotation about the new e1 (e1’)by dθ - nutation
- 2. Rotation about the new e1 (e1 )by dθ
nutation
- 3. Rotation about the new e3 (e3’’)by dψ - spin
