About This Product
A gyroscope is a spinning disc whose axis resists changes of direction. When a couple is applied to the spinning disc, the disc turns about a third axis, which is called precession, and the gyroscopic couple is the product of the moment of inertia, the spin speed and the precession speed. In engineering classes the apparatus is used to see this effect and to compare the measured couple with the calculated value.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What experiments can be done with the Motorized Gyroscope Apparatus?
The listed experiments are to justify the equation for the gyroscopic couple by measuring spin and precession, and to study the gyroscopic effect of a rotating disc.
Q2. What utilities does it need?
It needs a 230 V AC, single phase supply, a bench area of 1 m x 1 m and a tachometer to find the RPM of the disc.
