In my textbook there is an equation for the precession frequency:
Ω = τ/Iω
The derivation in the book shows no difference in the spin angular momentum at time t = 0 and t = delta t but when I tried it I got that the denominator of the above equation must be the 'new' angular momentum (at t = delta t)
If the spin angular momentum is increasing with time wouldn't that means the precession frequency would be decreasing but my textbook says constant velocity
