Question

The rotor (flywheel) of a toy gyroscope has a mass of 0.160kg . Its moment of inertia about its axis is 1.15

The rotor (flywheel) of a toy gyroscope has a mass of 0.160kg . Its moment of inertia about its axis is 1.15 times 10?4kg?m2 . The mass of the frame is 2.90 times 10?2kg . The gyroscope is supported on a single pivot (see figure) with its center of mass a horizontal distance of 4.35cm from the pivot. The gyroscope is precessing in a horizontal plane at the rate of 1.20 revolution in 2.50s.

Explanation / Answer

w = 1.2 revolution/2.5 s = 0.48 revoltuion/s = 28.8 revolution/min
