While the rocket is in free flight, it has a spin of 3 rad/s and precesses about an axis measured 10° from the axis of spin. If the ratio of the axial to transverse moments of inertia of the rocket is 1 /15, computed about axes which pass through the mass center G, determine the angle which the resultant angular velocity makes with the spin axis. Construct the body and space cones used to describe the motion. Is the precession regular or retrograde?
