113Countersteering — For the similar technique used in automobiles, see Opposite lock. Graphs showing the lean and steer angle response of an otherwise uncontrolled typical bike, traveling at a forward speed in its stable range (in this case 6 m/s), to a steer torque …
114Poinsot's ellipsoid — In classical mechanics, Poinsot s construction is a geometrical method for visualizing the torque free motion of a rotating rigid body, that is, the motion of a rigid body on which no external forces are acting. This motion has four constants:… …

118pre|ces|sion — «pree SEHSH uhn», noun. 1. the act or fact of going first; precedence. 2. the rotation of a spinning rigid body that has been tipped from its vertical axis by an external force acting on it. This phenomenon is illustrated by the wobble of a top… …
119Euler angles — The Euler angles were developed by Leonhard Euler to describe the orientation of a rigid body (a body in which the relative position of all its points is constant) in 3 dimensional Euclidean space. To give an object a specific orientation it may… …
120CryoEDM — is a particle physics experiment aiming to measure the electric dipole moment (EDM) of the neutron to a precision of 10 28ecm.[1] The name is an abbreviation of cryogenic neutron EDM experiment. The previous name nEDM is also sometimes used, but… …
