Description

This lecture covers the qualitative analysis of gyroscopic effects in general motion mechanics, focusing on the precession of a spinning top, the forces needed to steer a bicycle, the leaning of a motorcycle in a turn, and the dynamics of a rotating pendulum. Through examples, the instructor explains the application of basic principles of rigid body dynamics to understand these phenomena.
