Question:
A gyroscope wheel weighs 7.0 lb and has an effective radius of 4.0 in. It spins with its axis horizontal at a rate of 3,000 r/min, clockwise as viewed from the pivot. The gyroscope is supported by a pivot near one end of the axle 6.0 in from the center of gravity.
a.) What is the angular velocity of precession?
b.) When viewed from above is the precession clockwise or is it counterclockwise? Could you explain/Support your answer?
