- 3 Free rigid body. First, the stability of the motion for a torque-free rigid body, that is a rigid body which can be approximated as having no external moments on it. We try to give an intuitive expl…

- 6 Qualitative analysis of spinning objects. We discuss the qualitative analysis of a spinning body, where the body is either spinning rapidly or is a system with a connected rapidly spinning rotor. Th…
