Where co is the angular velocity of the body, n is the normal at the contact point, a is the radius of the spherical base, and b is the radius of the spherical shell of the body (Fig, 1). Here and below, all vectors and tensors are set in a moving system of coordinates related to the principal axes of the body. The moment M at the contact point is related to the angular velocity to by the linear relation.
