Abstract

In this paper,the energy conservation formula in the article “Analysis of the rotation modes of the

symmetric top around fixed point in gravitational field”has been questioned,and the correct formula has been deduced

and proved. Two conservation parameters are introduced in the formula of effective potential energy,and the

derivative and the second derivative of the effective potential energy are obtained. In addition,the effective potential

energy and second-order derivative have also been calculated when the derivative is zero. Through drawing and analysis,

the range of the change of nutation angle during the gyro rotation and the stability at the equilibrium point

are explained.
