Precession Explained, Schwartz, Cal Poly Physics

This video is part of a free online mechanics course with all videos and a textbook. Please see: http://sharedcurriculum.peteschwartz.... Torque provides a change in angular momentum, an angular impulse - Added to the present angular momentum. However, we don't need to use angular notation. Precession can be explained with linear momentum of the mass on the wheel rim, which may be more accessible to the physics student.
