A certain gyroscope consists of a uniform disk with a 50cm radius mounted at the centre of an axle that is11cmlong and of negligible mass. The axle is horizontal and supported at one end. If the disk is spinning around the axle at1000rev/min, what is the precession rate?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Precession rate of a gyroscope is 0.041rad/sec2.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1: Given

R=50cmL=11cmr=112=5.5cmN=1000rev/min

02

Determining the concept        

Use the formula for precession rate in terms of mass, gravitational acceleration, spin angular frequency, and moment of inertia to find out the precession rate.

Formula are as follow:

Ñ„=m×g×r±õÓ¬Ó¬=2×π×f

where,f is frequency, mis mass, gis acceleration due to gravity,r is radius, Iis moment of inertia,Ӭ is angular frequency andф is precession rate.

03

Determining the precession rate of a gyroscope

To find precession rate, first find angular velocity as follows:

Ӭ=2×π×N60

Here, N is the frequency in rpm,

Ӭ=2×π×100060

So,

Ó¬=104.72rad/s

Now, precession rate is given as,

Ñ„=m×g×r±õӬф=2×9.81×5.5×0.01(0.5)2×104.72Ñ„=0.041rad/s

Hence,precession rate of a gyroscope is0.041rad/sec2.

Therefore, using the concept of precession, the rate of precession and the direction in which the precession occurs can be found.

A skier is pulled by a towrope up a frictionless ski slope that makes an angle of12°with the horizontal. The rope moves parallel to the slope with a constant speed of 1.0m/s. The force of the rope does 900Jof work on the skier as the skier moves a distance of 8.0mup the incline. (a) If the rope moved with a constant speed of 2.0m/s, how much work would the force of the rope do on the skier as the skier moved a distance of 8.0mup the incline? At what rate is the force of the rope doing work on the skier when the rope moves with a speed of (b)1.0m/sand (c)2.0m/s?

A 100 kgblock is pulled at a constant speed of 5.0 m/sacross a horizontal floor by an applied force of 122 Ndirected37°above the horizontal. What is the rate at which the force does work on the block?

Question: The sport with the fastest moving ball is jai alai, where measured speeds have reached 303 km/hr. If a professional jai alai player faces a ball at that speed and involuntarily blinks, he blacks out the scene for 100 ms. How far does the ball move during the blackout?

A tourist purchases a car in England and ships it home to the United States. The car sticker advertised that the car’s fuel consumption was at the rate of 40 miles per gallon on the open road. The tourist does not realize that the U.K. gallon differs from the U.S. gallon:

1U.K.gallon=4.5460900liters

1U.S.gallon=3.7854118liters

For a trip of 750 miles (in the United States), how many gallons of fuel does (a) the mistaken tourist believe she needs and (b) the car actually require?
