Part A (10.0 points)

A Tippe top is a special kind of top that can spontaneously invert once it has been set spinning. One can model a Tippe top as a sphere of radius RR that is truncated, with a stem added. It has rotational symmetry about an axis through the stem, which is at angle θ\theta from the vertical. As shown in Figure 1(a), its centre of mass CC is offset from its geometric centre OO by αR\alpha R along its symmetry axis. The Tippe top makes contact with the surface it rests on at point AA; we assume this surface is planar, and refer to it as the floor. Given certain geometrical constraints and if spun fast enough initially, the Tippe top will tip so that the stem points increasingly downwards, until it starts to spin on in its stem, and eventually comes to a stop.

(a) Side view: a truncated sphere of radius R (dashed arrow labelled R) with a stem tilted up to the right; points O (geometric centre) and C (centre of mass) separated by αR, contact point A at the bottom; z–x axes. (b) Top view: the truncated sphere with a horizontal stem to the right; points C and O, A marked; y–x axes.

Let xyzxyz be the rotating reference frame defined such that z^\hat{\mathbf{z}} is stationary and upwards, and the top's symmetry axis is within the xzxz-plane. Two views of the Tippe top are shown in Figure 1: from the side, and from above. As shown in Figure 1(b), the top's symmetry axis is aligned with the xx-axis when viewed from above.

Figure 2 shows the top's motion at several phases after it is started spinning:

(a) phase I: immediately after it is initially set spinning, with θ∼0\theta \sim 0

(b) phase II: soon after, having tipped to angle 0<θ<π20 < \theta < \frac{\pi}{2}

(c) phase III: when the stem first touches the floor, with θ>π2\theta > \frac{\pi}{2}

(d) phase IV: after inversion, when the top is spinning on its stem, with θ∼π\theta \sim \pi

(e) phase V: in its final state, at rest on its stem θ=π\theta = \pi.

Five sketches (a)–(e) of the Tippe top in the xz-plane: (a) stem up, nearly vertical; (b) stem tilted up to the right; (c) stem pointing down-right; (d) inverted, spinning on its stem; (e) upside down at rest on its stem. Small z–x axes in (a).

Let XYZXYZ be the inertial frame, where the surface the top is on is wholly in the XYXY-plane. The frame xyzxyz is defined as above, and reached from XYZXYZ via rotation around the ZZ axis by ϕ\phi . The transformation from the XYZXYZ frame to frame xyzxyz is shown in Figure 3(a). In particular, z^=Z^\hat{\mathbf{z}} = \hat{\mathbf{Z}}.

Any rotational motion in 3-dimensional space can be described by the three Euler angles (θ,ϕ,ψ)(\theta, \phi, \psi). The transformations between the inertial frame XYZXYZ, the intermediate frame xyzxyz, and the top's frame 123123 can be understood in terms of these Euler angles.

In our description of the Tippe top's motion, the angles θ\theta and ϕ\phi are the standard zenith and azimuthal angles respectively, in spherical polar coordinates. In the XYZXYZ frame they are defined as follows: θ\theta is the angle of the top's symmetry axis from the vertical ZZ-axis, representing how far from vertical its stem is, while ϕ\phi represents the top's angular position about the ZZ-axis, and is defined as the angle between the XZXZ-plane and the plane through points O, A, CO,\ A,\ C (i.e. the vertical projection of the top's symmetry axis).

The third Euler angle ψ\psi describes the rotation of the top about its own symmetry axis, i.e. its 'spin', which has angular velocity ψ˙\dot{\psi}.

The reference frame of the spinning top is defined as a new rotating frame 123123, which is reached by rotating xyzxyz by θ\theta around y^\hat{\mathbf{y}}: 'tilting' the z^\hat{\mathbf{z}}-axis down by θ\theta to meet the top's symmetry axis 3^\hat{\mathbf{3}}. The transformation from the xyzxyz frame to the 123123 frame is shown in Figure 3(b). In particular, 2^=y^\hat{\mathbf{2}} = \hat{\mathbf{y}}.

NOTE: For a reference frame K~\widetilde{\mathbf{K}} rotating in inertial frame K\mathbf{K} with angular velocity ω\boldsymbol{\omega} , the time derivatives of a vector A\mathbf{A} within both frames K\mathbf{K} and K~\widetilde{\mathbf{K}} are related via:

(∂A∂t)K=(∂A∂t)K~+ω×A(1)\left(\frac{\partial \mathbf{A}}{\partial t}\right)_{\mathbf{K}} = \left(\frac{\partial \mathbf{A}}{\partial t}\right)_{\widetilde{\mathbf{K}}} + \boldsymbol{\omega} \times \mathbf{A} \qquad (1)

The motion that a Tippe top undergoes is complex, involving the time evolution of the three Euler angles, as well the translational velocities (or positions) and the motion of the top's symmetry axis. All of these parameters are coupled. To solve for the motion of a Tippe top, one would use standard tools including Newton's laws to prepare the system of equations, then program a computer to solve them numerically via simulation.

In this question, you will perform the first part of this process, investigating the physics of the Tippe top to set up the system of equations.

Friction between the Tippe top and the surface it is moving on drives the motion of the Tippe top. Assume that the top remains in contact with the floor at point AA, until such time as the stem contacts the floor. It is in motion at point AA with velocity vA\mathbf{v}_A relative to the floor. The frictional coefficient μk\mu_k between the top and floor is kinetic, with ∣Ff∣=μkN|\mathbf{F}_\mathbf{f}| = \mu_k N, where Ff=Ff,xx^+Ff,yy^\mathbf{F}_f = F_{f,x}\hat{\mathbf{x}} + F_{f,y}\hat{\mathbf{y}} is the frictional force, and NN is the magnitude of the normal force. Assume that the top is initially set spinning only, i.e. there is no translational impulse given to the top.

Let the mass of the Tippe top be mm. Its moments of inertia are: I3I_3 about the axis of symmetry is, and I1=I2I_1 = I_2 about the mutually perpendicular principal axes. Let s\mathbf{s} be the position vector of the centre of mass, and a=CA→\mathbf{a} = \overrightarrow{CA} be the vector from the centre of mass to the point of contact.

Unless otherwise specified, give your answers in the xyzxyz reference frame for full marks. All torques and angular momentum are considered about the centre of mass CC, unless otherwise specified. You may give your answers in terms of NN. Except for part A.8, you need only consider the top where θ<π2\theta < \frac{\pi}{2}, and the stem is not in contact with the floor.

A.1 Find the total external force Fext\mathbf{F}_{\mathrm{ext}} on the Tippe top. Draw a free body diagram of the top, projected onto each of the xzxz- and xyxy-planes. Indicate the direction of vA\mathbf{v}_A in the space provided, on your diagram in the xyxy-plane. [1 т.]

A.2 Find the total external torque τext\boldsymbol{\tau}_{\mathrm{ext}} on the Tippe top about the centre of mass. [0,8 т.]

A.3 Given the contact condition, i.e. (s+a)⋅z^=0(\mathbf{s} + \mathbf{a}) \cdot \hat{z} = 0, show that the velocity at AA has no component in the zz-direction, i.e. we can write vA=vxx^+vyy^\mathbf{v}_A = v_x\hat{\mathbf{x}} + v_y\hat{\mathbf{y}}. [0,4 т.]

A.4 Find the total angular velocity ω\omega of the rotating top about its centre of mass CC in terms of the time derivatives of the Euler angles: θ˙=dθdt\dot{\theta} = \frac{d\theta}{dt}, ϕ˙=dϕdt\dot{\phi} = \frac{d\phi}{dt}, and ψ˙=dψdt\dot{\psi} = \frac{d\psi}{dt}. Use Figure 3 if this is helpful. Give your answer in the xyzxyz frame, and in the 123123 frame. [0,8 т.]

A.5 Find the total energy of a spinning Tippe top, in terms of time derivatives of the Euler angles, vxv_x, and vyv_y. For partial marks, you may leave your answer in terms of s˙=dsdt\dot{\mathbf{s}} = \frac{d\mathbf{s}}{dt}. [1 т.]

A.6 Find the rate of change of the angular momentum about the zz-axis. [0,4 т.]

A.7 Which force(s) do work against gravity? Find an expression for the instantaneous rate of change of the top's energy - you may leave your answer in terms of vA\mathbf{v}_A. Identify and identify the components of the force and the torque that cause the change(s) in energy terms in A.5. [1,4 т.]

A.8 Qualitatively sketch the following energy terms in the answer sheet as a function of time, over the top's motion through the five phases I to V shown in Figure 2: the total energy ETE_T, gravitational potential energy UGU_G, translational kinetic energy KTK_T, and rotational kinetic energy KRK_R. The energy axes of your sketches are not required to be to scale. [2 т.]

A.9 Show that the components of the angular momentum L\mathbf{L} and angular velocity ω\omega that are perpendicular to the 3^\hat{\mathbf{3}} direction are proportional, i.e.

L×3^=k(ω×3^),(2)\mathbf{L} \times \hat{\mathbf{3}} = k(\boldsymbol{\omega} \times \hat{\mathbf{3}}), \qquad (2)

and find the proportionality constant kk. [0,5 т.]

Combining your answers to A.1 and A.2 with subsequent results will give you the magnitude NN of the normal force, as well as a system of equations, relating the Euler angles, the components vxv_x and vyv_y of the velocity at AA, the unit vector for the axis of symmetry 3^\hat{\mathbf{3}}, and their time derivatives. This system is not integrable, but instead could be solved numerically.

Integrals of motion are quantities which remain constant, and can reduce the dimensionality of the system (i.e. number of simultaneous equations to solve, whether analytically or numerically). Typically quantities such as energy, momentum, and angular momentum are conserved in closed systems, and significantly simplify the problem.

A.10 As you have seen, neither the energy nor the angular momentum are conserved for a Tippe top, due to a dissipative force and external torque. However, there is a related quantity known as Jellett's integral λ\lambda, which represents a component of the angular momentum that is conserved, i.e. some vector v\mathbf{v}. such that λ=L⋅v\lambda = \mathbf{L} \cdot \mathbf{v} is constant in time.

Use your understanding of the Tippe top and results found to far, to give an expression for such a vector v\mathbf{v}. Show that the time derivative of λ\lambda is zero. [1,7 т.]
