Consider the rapid steady precession of a symmetric top predicted in connection with (10.112). (a) Show that in this motion the angular momentum L must be very close to the verti-cal. [Hint: Use (10.100) to write down the horizontal component Lhor of L. Show that if is given by the right side of (10.
