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:

=mgr滨蝇=2f

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

03

Determining the precession rate of a gyroscope

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

=2N60

Here, N is the frequency in rpm,

=2100060

So,

=104.72rad/s

Now, precession rate is given as,

=mgr滨蝇=29.815.50.01(0.5)2104.72=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 tourist purchases a car in England and ships it home to the United States. The car sticker advertised that the car鈥檚 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?

A cord is a volume of cut wood equal to a stack 8 ft long, 4 ft wide, and 4 ft high. How many cords are in1.0m3?

A 100 kgblock is pulled at a constant speed of 5.0 m/sacross a horizontal floor by an applied force of 122 Ndirected37above the horizontal. What is the rate at which the force does work on the block?

A ton is a measure of volume frequently used in shipping, but that use requires some care because there are at least three types of tons: A displacement ton is equal to 7 barrels bulk, a freight ton is equal to 8 barrels bulk, and a register ton is equal to 20 barrels bulk. A barrel bulk is another measure of volume: 1barrelbulk=0.1415m3. Suppose you spot a shipping order for 鈥73 tons鈥 ofM&Mcandies, and you are certain that the client who sent the order intended 鈥渢on鈥 to refer to volume (instead of weight or mass, as discussed in Chapter 5). If the client actually meant displacement tons, how many extra U.S. bushels of the candies will you erroneously ship if you interpret the order as (a) 73 freight tons and (b) 73 register tons? (1m3=28.378U.S. bushels.)

Question: Suppose that the radius of the Sun was increased to 5.9010 12m (the average radius of the orbit of Pluto), that the density of this expanded Sun were uniform, and that the planets revolved within this tenuous object. (a) Calculate Earth鈥檚 orbital speed in this new configuration. (b) What is the ratio of the orbital speed calculated in (a) to Earth鈥檚 present orbital speed of 29.8 km/s? Assume that the radius of Earth鈥檚 orbit remains unchanged. (c) What would be Earth鈥檚 new period of revolution? (The Sun鈥檚 mass remains unchanged).
