Lecture

Rotation Dynamics: Symmetry and Gyroscopic Effects

Description

This lecture covers the dynamics of rotation around an axis of symmetry, gyroscopic effects, and rotation around a fixed instantaneous axis. It explores the behavior of non-rigid objects, such as containers filled with granules, and the critical angles for rolling down inclined planes. Theoretical approaches and experimental studies are discussed, emphasizing the interplay between mass distribution and moment of inertia. The lecture also delves into the oscillation frequency of systems and energy dissipation in varying conditions.
