    "abstract": "\"Why does not a spinning top collapse?\" is a puzzling question. Standard\nsolution using angular momentum and torque is not intuitive enough. Thus\nintuitive explanations for the question have been proposed. We provide\nscaffolding for an intuitive explanation for the question. Accelerated\npoint-masses in the top exert forces on the frame, which balances the effect\ndue to gravity. The explanation is supplemented by the two following points. A\nmore rigorous conceptual framework of the explanation is provided. A full\ncalculation of trajectory is given. Nutation of spinning top is a difficult\nissue to understand physically. However, the nutation can also be understood by\nthe intuitive explanation. We discuss another intuitive explanation.",
