Consider a spacecraft orbiting Earth. At an instant in time, the angular velocity of the spacecraft relative to Earth is = 1.6b +0.52bz+0.21b3z (in rad/s). Now consider a top spinning in the spacecraft with an angular velocity relative to the spacecraft of wr = 5.86, +0.19ôg+0.15bg (in rad/s). What is the magnitude of the angular velocity (in rad/s) of the spinning top relative to the Earth reference frame. Note b1, b2, bz are unit vectors fixed in the spacecraft reference frame.

Consider a spacecraft orbiting Earth. At an instant in time, the angular velocity of the spacecraft
relative to Earth is = 1.6b +0.52b2+0.21b3 (in rad/s). Now consider a top spinning in the
spacecraft with an angular velocity relative to the spacecraft of wr = 5.86, +0.19bz+0.15bz (in
rad/s). What is the magnitude of the angular velocity (in rad/s) of the spinning top relative to the
Earth reference frame.
Note b1, b2, by are unit vectors fixed in the spacecraft reference frame.
