1. Abstract
The objective of this experiment is to understand rotational motion of a rigid body through gyroscope, precession and nutation of a rotating body.

2. Introduction
A rapidly rotating body doesn`t fall off by the gravity, but it precesses. This body has a angular momentum, so the gravity which acts upon it serves as a torque to change the direction of the angular momentum. A gyroscope also has a rotating disk so that it can precesses around its vertical axis. In this experiment, we will observe the behavior of the gyroscope by spinning the disk or giving additional torque to the gyroscope.
