[UPSC CSE 2000] Rigid Body Dynamics (Q235, 20M)

A top is spinning about its axis of symmetry. If its spin angular momentum is large compared to the change caused by the applied torque the top processes. If it is not spinning, the top would tip over. Show what happens in between, when the top spins slowly. Derive an approximate expression for the angular speed of the precessional motion.
