Is it possible to calculate the yaw rate (rad/s) or yaw angle (rad) of a rotating body where centre of mass does not coincide with the rotational axis?
E.g. a tyre rim of radius r, spinning at angular velocity ω, and with its centre of mass rx off-centre relative to the rotational axis. The faster you spin it, the faster it would "wobble."
Can this be calculated?
EDIT:
I've tried searching for this but so far I have found nothing...maybe this isn't the terminology commonly used?
