How does the coriolis effect have role in the precession of gyroscopes?http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precession"
In the torque-induced precession section, it says masses move due to the coriolis effect, but it happens only in rotating frames.
I would want an explanation on why a torque applied to a rotating gyroscope should cause precession about an axis perpendicular to that of the applied torque and spin axis
