Apr 1, 2023 at 20:02 comment added John Alexiou Some dimensions would be nice too, to get an idea of the moment of inertia is higher axially than across the peg. The thickness $h$ seems smaller than $h < \sqrt{3}\,R$ which is the value needed to make $I_{\rm side}= I_{\rm axis}$. Is this correct?
Apr 1, 2023 at 17:13 comment added UVphoton Agree with @JohnAlexiou, the details of the contact matter. Can you send a picture of the peg, side and bottom view.
Mar 31, 2023 at 16:59 comment added Ankit @JohnAlexiou it is approximately a rounded tip and not a flat one
Mar 31, 2023 at 13:12 comment added John Alexiou @Ankit - thank you. So there is a peg in the middle. What does the end of the peg look like? Is it flat or rounded? This is going to make a big difference in the dynamics.
Mar 31, 2023 at 7:25 comment added Ankit @JohnAlexiou I have added a picture of it . Sorry if its not a clear picture. If it is not what you expected I will try to go to the lab and get a more detailed one but that would be possible only after Monday.

Mar 31, 2023 at 5:50 comment added John Alexiou We need a sketch of the disk and what it looks like from the side.
Mar 31, 2023 at 5:49 comment added John Alexiou Looks like the bottom of the disk is spherical and the contact point moves around. Can you confirm?

Mar 28, 2023 at 13:29 comment added Ankit @joseph h yeah both are of same material (so same density as well as dimensions) .. actually they were used just as some weights in the experiment to verify newtons second law using an air track
Mar 28, 2023 at 9:43 comment added auxsvr This is precession effected by torque, similar to Larmor precession, but caused by gravity and friction.

Mar 27, 2023 at 20:44 comment added joseph h I just wanted to know if the top disc and bottom disc are made of the same material and if they both have the same mass density? Anything else (like are they used in an experiment (given they’re in a lab) and what is the experiment etc.,) you can tell me, if there is anything else, would be good. Thanks.

Mar 26, 2023 at 6:48 comment added joseph h I could speculate as to what's happening, but without more information of this disc, it's really hard to tell.
