Precession motion
This equipment allows students to study the precession motion thanks to the laws of classical mechanics applied to rigid bodies using simple devices as the spinning top and the gyroscope. By the giant gyroscope, you can also perform a quantitative test of the report that provides the value of the angular momentum precession as a function of mechanical momentum and angular momentum of rotation. The teaching guide as well as a theoretical explanation of the phenomenon, provides instructions for a correct execution of the experiences.
