A symmetrical top is mounted so that it pivots about its center of mass. The pivot in turn is fixed a distance r from the center of a horizontal disk free to rotate about a vertical axis. The top is started with an initial rotation about its figure axis, which is initially at an angle θ0 to the vertical. Analyze the possible nutation of the top as a case of small oscillations about steady motion.
