<p>Examining Equation <a class="reference internal" href="#equation-eq17">(17)</a>, the spin rate may decay, stay constant, grow, or fluctuate. Another observation that can be added to this is that the spin rate retains the polarity of its initial condition; if the initial condition is positive, then the spin rate is always non-negative, and vice versa. Further analysis in this chapter assumes a positive value for the initial spin rate.

<p>Equation <a class="reference internal" href="#equation-eq18">(18)</a> asserts that the spin rate cannot fluctuate for a system with constant axial radius of gyration; it can only grow or decay monotonically, or stay constant. It can then also be inferred that a time-varying axial radius of gyration can lead to fluctuations in the spin rate. Thus, the radius of gyration has a crucial effect on the spin rate.
