A top spins at 28 revs about an axis that makes an angle of


A top spins at 28 rev/s about an axis that makes an angle of 33° with the vertical. The mass of the top is 0.44 kg, its rotational inertia about its central axis is 5.3 x 10-4 kg·m2, and its center of mass is 3.2 cm from the pivot point. The spin is clockwise from an overhead view.

(a) What is the precession rate?

(b) What is the direction of the precession as viewed from overhead?
