Obtain the Hamiltonian of a heavy symmetrical top with one point fixed, and from it the Hamilton’s equations of motion. Relate these to the equations of motion discussed in Section 5.7 and, in particular, show how the solution may be reduced to quadratures. Also use the Routhian procedure to eliminate the cyclic coordinates.
