1 6 Euler s Angles Michael Fowler Introduction So far, our analysis of rotational motion has been of essentially one dimensional, or more precisely one angular parameter, motion: rotating about an ais, rolling, precessing and so on But this leaves out many interesting phenomena, for eample the wobbling of a slowing down top, nutation, and so on We need a well-defined set of parameters for the orientation of a rigid body in space to make further progress in analyzing the dynamics The standard set is Euler s Angles What you see as you watch a child s top beginning to wobble as it slows down is the direction of the ais this is given by the first two of Euler s angles: θφ, the usual spherical coordinates, the angle θ from the vertical direction and the azimuthal angleφ about that vertical ais Euler s third angle, ψ, specifies the orientation of the top about its own ais, completing the description of the precise positioning of the top To describe the motion of the wobbling top as we see it, we evidently need to cast the equations of motion in terms of these angles Definition The rotational motion of a rigid body is completely defined by tracking the set of principal aes,, XYZ,, The (, with origin at the center of mass, as they turn relative to a set of fied aes principal aes can be completely defined relative to the fied set by three angles: the two angles ( θφ, fi the direction of, but that leaves the pair, free to turn in the plane perpendicular to, the angle ψ fies their orientation
2 Euler s Angles To see these angles, start with the fied aes, draw a circle centered at the origin in the horizontal XY, plane Now draw a circle of the same size, also centered at the same origin, but in the principal aes, plane andau calls the line of intersection of these circles (or discs the line of nodes It goes through the common origin, and is a diameter of both circles follow standard physics practice for labeling the direction of body ais relative to lab aes, is the body rotation angle from to the ais in the plane, about its ais The angle between these two planes, which is also the angle between Z, (since they re the perpendiculars to the planes is labeled θ The angle between this line of nodes and the X ais is φ It should be clear that θφ, together fi the direction of, then the other aes are fied by giving ψ, the angle between and the line of nodes ON The direction of measurement of φψ, around Z, are given by the right-hand or corkscrew rule Angular Velocity and Energy in Terms of Euler s Angles Since the position is uniquely defined by Euler s angles, angular velocity is epressible in terms of these angles and their derivatives
3 The strategy here is to find the angular velocity components along the body aes,, of θ, φψ, in turn Once we have the angular velocity components along the principal aes, the kinetic energy is easy Its components are therefore θ = ( θ ψ θ ψ to (You might be thinking: wait a minute, aren't the aes embedded in the body? Don't they turn with it? How can you talk about rotation about these aes? Good point: what we're doing here is finding the components of angular velocity about a set of aes fied in space, not the body, but momentarily coinciding with the principal aes of the body From the diagram, θ is along the line ON, and therefore in the, plane: notice it is at an angle ψ with respect cos, sin,0 Now φ is about the Z ais The principal ais is at angle θ to the Z ais, so φ has component φcosθ about, and φ sin θ in the, plane, that latter component along a line perpendicular to ON, and therefore at angle ψ from the The angular velocity ψ is already along a principal ais, sin sin, sin cos, cos ais Hence φ = ( φ θ ψ φ θ ψ φ θ To summarize, the Euler angle angular velocities (components along the body s principal aes are: θ = ( θcos ψ, θsin ψ,0, φ = ( φsinθsin ψ, φsinθcos ψ, φcos θ, ψ = ( 0, 0, ψ from which, the angular velocity components along those in-body aes,, are: Ω = φsinθsinψ + θcos ψ, Ω = φsinθcosψ θsin ψ, Ω = φcos θ + ψ
4 4 For a symmetric top, meaning I = I I, the rotational kinetic energy is therefore ( φ θ θ ( φ θ ψ T = I Ω +Ω + I Ω = I sin + + I cos + rot For this symmetrical case, as andau points out, we could have taken the ais momentarily along the line of nodes ON, giving Ω= θ, φsin θ, φcos θ + ψ Free Motion of a Symmetrical Top As a warm up in using Euler s angles, we ll redo the free symmetric top covered in the last lecture With no eternal torques acting the top will have constant angular momentum, We ll take in the fied Z direction The ais of the top is along Taking the ais along the line of nodes ON (in the figure on the previous page at the instant considered, the constant angular momentum = ( IΩ, IΩ, IΩ = ( I θ, I φsin θ, I( φcos θ + ψ (ais Remember, this new ais (see diagram! is perpendicular to the Z ais we ve taken along, so = Iθ = 0, and θ is constant, meaning that the principal ais describes a cone around the constant angular momentum vector The rate of precession follows from the constancy of = Iφ sin θ Writing the absolute magnitude of the angular momentum as, = sin θ, (remember is in the Z direction, and is Free motion of symmetric top: constant along fied momentarily along ON so the rate of precession φ = / I Finally, the component of along the ais of symmetry of the top is cos θ = IΩ, so the top s spin along its own ais is Ω = / I cos θ
5 5 Motion of Symmetrical Top around a Fied Base with Gravity: Nutation Denoting the distance of the center of mass from the fied bottom point P as (along the ais the moment of inertia about a line perpendicular to the ais at the base point is I = I + M cm ( I being usual center of mass moment The agrangian is ( P being the origin, I in direction θφ, = I φ sin θ + θ + I φcosθ + ψ Mg cos θ Notice that the coordinates ψ, φ do not appear eplicitly, so there are two constants of motion: ( ( p = / ψ = I φcos θ + ψ =, ψ p = / φ = I sin θ + I cos θ φ+ Iψ cos θ = φ Z That is, the angular momentum about is conserved, because the two forces acting on the top, the gravitational pull at the center of mass and the floor reaction at the bottom point, both act along lines intersecting the ais, so never have torque about The angular momentum about Z is conserved because the gravitational torque acts perpendicular to this line We have two linear equations in ψ, φ with coefficients depending on θ and the two constants of motion, Z The solution is straightforward, giving The (conserved energy Z cosθ Z cosθ φ =, ψ = cos θ I sin θ I I sin θ cosθ E = I Ω +Ω + I Ω + Mg I I Mg = φ sin θ + θ + φcosθ + ψ + cos θ Using the constants of motion to epress ψ, φ in terms of θ and the constants, Z, then E = E Mg / I, we have subtracting a θ independent term to reduce clutter, ( ( cosθ Z eff eff I sin E = I θ + V θ, V θ = Mg cos θ θ
6 6 > eff For Z, Veff θ goes to infinity at θ = 0, π It has a single minimum between these points (This isn t completely obvious one way to see it is to change variable to u = cosθ, following Goldstein Multiplying throughout by sin θ, and writing θ sin θ = u gives a one dimensional particle in a potential problem, and the potential is a cubic in u Of course some roots of E = Veff ( θ could be in the unphysical region u > In any case, there are at most three roots, so since the potential is positive and infinite at θ = 0, π, it has at most two roots in the physical range The range of motion in θ is given by E V ( θ From the one-dimensional particle in a potential analogy, it s clear that θ oscillates between these two points θ andθ This oscillation is called nutation Now φ = ( Z cos θ / I sin θ could change sign during this oscillation, depending on whether or not the angle cos ( Z / is in the range Visualizing the path of the top center point on a spherical surface centered at the fied point, as it goes around it oscillates up and down, but if there is this sign change, it will loop the loop, going backwards on the top part of the loop Steady Precession Under what conditions will a top, spinning under gravity, precess at a steady rate? The constancy of, Z mean that Ω = φcos θ + ψ, and Ω pr = φ are constants The θ agrange equation is I θ = I φ sinθcosθ I φcosθ + ψ φsinθ + Mg sinθ For constant θ, θ = 0, so, with Ω = φcos θ + ψ, and Ω pr = φ, I Ω cosθ I ΩΩ + Mg = 0 pr pr Since this is a quadratic equation for the precession rate, there are two solutions in general: on staring at a precessing top, this is a bit surprising! We know that for the top, when it s precessing nicely, the
7 7 spin rate Ω far eceeds the precession rate Ω pr Assuming I, I to be of similar size, this means the first term in the quadratic is much smaller than the second If we just drop the first term, we get the precession rate Mg Ω =, Ω Ω ( precess (slow precess IΩ Note that this is independent of angle the torque varies as sin θ, but so does the horizontal component of the angular momentum, which is what s changing This is the familiar solution for a child s fast-spinning top precessing slowly But this is a quadratic equation, there s another possibility: in this large Ω limit, this other possibility is that order Ω, so now in the equation the last term, the gravitational one, is negligible, and Ω pr is itself of Ω I Ω / I cos θ precess (fast This is just the nutation of a free top! In fact, of course, both of these are approimate solutions, only eact in the limit of infinite spin (where one goes to zero, the other to infinity, and a more precise treatment will give corrections to each arising from the other andau indicates the leading order gravitational correction to the free body nutation mode Stability of Top Spinning about Vertical Ais θ = θ = 0, =, E = 0 θ = (from andau For Z Near 0, V ( cosθ Z effective ( θ I sin θ ( θ Mg θ I θ = Mg ( /8I Mg = θ ( cosθ The vertical position is stable against small oscillations provided > 4 I Mg, or Ω > 4 I Mg / I Eercise: suppose you set the top vertical, but spinning at less than Ω crit, the value at which it is just stable It will fall away, but bounce back, and so on Show the maimum angle it reaches is given by cos ( θ / =Ω / Ω crit
