1. A gyroscope consists of a rotating disk with a 25 cm radius suitably mounted at the midpoint of a 20 cm long axle so that it can spin and precess freely. One end is supported by a stand. The disk spins at 2000 rpm. The mass of the disk is 2 kg, and the axle can be taken as massless.
a. Draw the gyroscope, indicating the direction of the initial angular speed and the initial angular momentum. Choose a direction for the spin of the disk.
b. Draw the torque due to gravity about the support point.
c. What direction will your gyroscope precess once you release it?
d. Find the time required for one precession of the gyroscope if it is supported at one end of the axle and it precesses in the horizontal plane.
(Hint: if the magnitude of L--> is constant, it traces out a circle. Can you figure out how to relate the change in angle to the change in L-->?)

1) A gyroscope is spinning rapidly at 30 revolutions per second. It is a uniform disk of 40 cm radius, and it is mounted on an axle of negligible mass a distance of 30 cm from the end of the axle, which is supported by a frictionless pivot. The axle makes a 45° angle with the vertical as the gyroscope precesses uniformly. Calculate the angular velocity of precession of the gyroscope.

of negligible mass. The axle is horizontal and supported at one
end. If the disk is spinning around the axle at 1500 rev/min, what

Up A #4. [Gyroscope Wheel] A rubber wheel on a steel rim spins freely on a horizontal axle that is suspended by a fixed pivot at point P. When the wheel spins at a rate of 4.00 rev / s, it precesses smoothly about point Pin a horizontal plane with a period of 3.50 s. The wheel's outer radius is 15.0 cm, and it's total mass is measured to be 1.12 kg, 60% of this being the spinning wheel and...
A wheel with mass of 5 kg and a radius of 15 cm is mounted so that it spins on an axle through its center. A light-weight string is wound around the circumference of the wheel. If a constant force of 3.0 N is applied to the end of the string for 1.0 seconds, what will be the change in the angular velocity? (Model the wheel as though it were a uniform cylinder.)
