Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Gyroscope Question 1 Detailed Solution
Explanation:
- When the engine or propeller rotates in an anticlockwise (clockwise from front) direction when viewed from the rear or tail end and the airplane takes a left turn, then the effect of the reactive gyroscopic couple will be to dip the nose and raise the tail of the airplane.
Gyroscope Question 2:
Gyroscopic effect is NOT noticed in ships during ________.
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Gyroscope Question 2 Detailed Solution
Explanation:
Gyroscopic moment is given by,
M = Iωωp
Here it is a case of rolling.
In the case of rolling of a ship the axis of precession (i.e. longitudinal axis) is always parallel to the axis of spin of the stabilizing rotor for all positions.
Hence there is no gyroscopic moment acting on the body of a ship.
Gyroscope Question 3:
A flywheel weighs \(\frac{{981}}{\pi }\) kgf and has a radius of gyration of 100 cm. It is given a spin of 100 r.p.m. about its horizontal axis. The whole assembly is rotating about a vertical axis at 6 rad/s. The gyroscopic couple experienced will be
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Gyroscope Question 3 Detailed Solution
Concept:
Gyroscopic Couple = I × ω × ωp
Where I is the moment of inertia of the flywheel, ωp is the angular velocity of spin and ω is the rotational speed of the flywheel
Calculation:
Given, W = \(\frac{{981}}{\pi }\) kgf ⇒ m = \(\frac{{981}}{\pi }\)kg, radius of gyration k = 100 cm = 1m, ω = 6rad/s, N = 100 r.p.m,
\(I = m{k^2} = \frac{{981}}{{\pi }} × {\left( 1 \right)^2}\) kg-m2
\(I = \frac{{981}}{\pi }\;kg-\;{m^2}\)
\(ω_p = \frac{{2\pi N}}{{60}} = \frac{{2\pi × 100}}{{60}} = \frac{{20\pi }}{6}\;rad/sec\)
\(T = Iω \;{ω _p} = \frac{{981}}{\pi } × \frac{{20\pi }}{6} × 6= 19620 \ kg \ m^2/s^2 = 19620\;Nm\)
1 kgf = 9.81 N
⇒ T = 2000 kgf-m
Gyroscope Question 4:
A disc with a radius of gyration of 60 mm and a mass of 4 kg is mounted centrally on a horizontal axle of 80 mm length between two bearings.. It spins about the axle at a speed of 800 rpm CCW when viewed from the Right-hand side Bearing. The precession rotation is 50 rpm in CW direction when viewed from the top as shown in the diagram. Determine the magnitude of resultant reaction at bearing A.
Answer (Detailed Solution Below) 59.2 - 59.8
Gyroscope Question 4 Detailed Solution
Concept:
The Reactive Gyroscopic couple,
\( ⇒ \overrightarrow {{G}} = I\left( {\overrightarrow {{\omega _s}} \times \overrightarrow {{\omega _p}} } \right)\;\;\;\;\; \ldots \left( 1 \right)\)
Calculation:
Given:
m = 4 kg, k = 0.060 m, ωs = 209 rad/s, Np = 50 rpm, L = 6 m
Solution :
Given :- m = 4 kg, N = 800 rpm, K = 0.06 m, NP = 50 rpm, l = 80 mm = 0.08 m
⇒ I = mk2 = 4 × (0.06)2 = 0.0144 kg - m2
- The angular speed of the axle,
\(\omega = \frac{{2\pi × 800}}{{60}} = 83.78 \ rad/s; \ \omega _p = \frac{{2\pi \times 50}}{{60}} = 5.24 \ rad/s\)
- The Reactive Gyroscopic couple,
⇒ G = 0.0144 × 83.78 × 5.24
⇒ G = 6.32 N.m
- This reactive couple (G) will be acting in a clockwise sense as shown below so because of this couple a reaction force will be generated in an upward direction to the axle at bearing B and in the downward direction on the left side bearing A. This reaction force will have the magnitude of G/L.
The FBD for the bearings A and B, disc.
- Also, because the rotor is located at the center, the reaction force on the axle on bearing A side will be in the upward direction.
- So, Reaction at force at the axle on Bearing A side,
\(R_A =( \frac{G}{l} - \frac{{mg}}{2})\downarrow\)
Now, this will be the same as the net force acting on bearing A.
\({R_A} = \frac{{6.32}}{{0.08}} - \frac{{4 \times 9.81}}{2} = 59.4 \ N \downarrow\)
Gyroscope Question 5:
A car is moving on a curved horizontal road of radius 100 m with a speed of 20 m/s. The rotating masses of the engine have an angular speed of 100 rad/s in clockwise direction when viewed from the front of the car. The combined moment of inertia of the rotating masses is 10 kg-m2. The magnitude of the gyroscopic moment (in N-m) is _______
Answer (Detailed Solution Below) 199 - 201
Gyroscope Question 5 Detailed Solution
Concept:
Gyroscopic couple:
If the axis of a spinning or rotating body is gives an angular motion about an axis perpendicular to the axis of spin, an angular acceleration acts on the body about the third perpendicular axis. The couple required to produce this acceleration is known as gyroscopic couple or torque.
τ = Iωωp = I α
I = polar moment of inertia, ω = angular velocity of spin axis, ωp = angular velocity of precision axis
∝ = Angular acceleration
Calculation:
I = 10 kg-m2, ω = 100 rad/s
\({\omega _p} = \frac{V}{r} = \frac{{20}}{{100}} = 0.2\;rad/sec\)
τ = Iωωp
τ = 10 × 100 × 0.2 = 200 N-m
Gyroscope Question 6:
A disc spinning with an angular velocity ω rad/s about an axis with mass moment of inertia, the angular momentum of this disk during precession is correctly given by equation:
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Gyroscope Question 6 Detailed Solution
Explanation:
Axis of spin:
- The disc is rotated about a particular axis, that axis of rotation (ω) referred to as the axis of spin.
- In general, the axis of rotation of the disc is considered as the axis of spin as a reference axis for the further calculation.
Axis of precession:
- The motion of direction of initial angular momentum is known as precession (ωp) and axis about which precession takes place is known as the axis of precession.
Applied gyroscopic couple:
- The couple which appears due to a change in the direction of angular momentum is known as an active gyroscopic couple or precession couple.
- The active gyroscopic couple or precession couple is given by,
- T = Iωωp
- The angular momentum of this disk during precession = Iω
where ω = angular velocity of the disc, ωp = angular velocity of precision of axis of spin and I = mass momentum inertia of disc.
Gyroscope Question 7:
The rotor of a turbojet engine of an aircraft has a mass 180 kg and polar moment of inertia 10 kg·m2 about the rotor axis. The rotor rotates at a constant speed of 1100 rad/s in the clockwise direction when viewed from the front of the aircraft. The aircraft while flying at a speed of 800 km per hour takes a turn with a radius of 1.5 km to the left. The gyroscopic moment exerted by the rotor on the aircraft structure and the direction of motion of the nose
When the aircraft turns, areAnswer (Detailed Solution Below)
Gyroscope Question 7 Detailed Solution
Concept:
Gyroscopic couple = Iωωp
Calculation:
Given data;
I = 10 kg m2
ω = 1100 rad/s
ν = 800 km/hr = 222.22 m/s
r = 1.5 km = 1500 m
\(\nu =r{{\omega }_{p}}\Rightarrow {{\omega }_{p}}=\frac{222.22}{1500}=0.148148~rad/s\)
Gyroscopic couple (CG) = (10) (1100) (0.148148) = 1629.63 Nm
Reactive gyroscopic couple will dip the nose.
Key points:
Always use reactive gyroscopic torque for identifying direction of motion of nose.Gyroscope Question 8:
The turbine rotor of a ship has a mass of 2.2 tonnes and rotates at 1800 rpm clockwise when viewed from the aft. The radius of gyration of the rotor is 320 mm. Determine the gyroscopic couple when the ship turns at a radius of 250 m with a speed of 25 km/h. (Round off to two decimal places)
Answer (Detailed Solution Below) 1179 - 1181
Gyroscope Question 8 Detailed Solution
Concept:
Types of motion in Naval ships:
Pitching:
- It is the limited angular motion of the ship about the transverse axis.
Steering:
- Steering is turning on the side.
Rolling:
- It is the limited angular motion of the ship about the longitudinal axis.
- Rolling motion usually occurs because of the difference in buoyancy on the two sides of a ship due to a wave. This is periodic in nature and associated with all the moving ship and is the most dangerous motion for ships.
The moment of inertia of the rotor is given by
I = mk2;
During steering, the angular velocity of precession is given by
ωp = v/r;
The total gyroscopic couple will be
G = I⋅ω⋅ωp;
Calculation:
Given:
m = 2.2 tonnes = 2200 kg, N = 1800 rpm, R = 250 m, k = 0.32 m
\(V = 25\ km/h = \frac{{25000}}{{36000}} = 6.94 \ m/s\)
The moment of inertia of the rotor,
⇒ I = mk2 = 2200 × (0.322) = 225.3 kg.m2
Now, the angular velocity of the precision,
\({w_p} = \frac{v}{r} = \frac{{6.94}}{{250}} = 0.0278 \ rad/s\)
Now, the gyroscopic Couple is given by,
\(G = Iw{w_p} = 225.3 \times \frac{{2\pi \times 1800}}{{60}} \times 0.0278\)
⇒ G = 1180 N.m
Gyroscope Question 9:
Artificial harbours are constructed by providing structures which extend from the land to the sea so as to create a calm area for the berthing of vessels. Such structures are known as
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Gyroscope Question 9 Detailed Solution
Concepts:
Breakwaters:
Breakwaters means a barrier built out into the sea to protect a coast or harbour from the force of waves. Breakwaters are all about erosion control. These structures will not provide any emergency protection to a beach or a home that is caught in the line of the storm. It might reduce the severity of storm waves but it will not save structure from high waves.
There are two basic types of breakwater: floating and fixed. Installing fixed breakwaters may create long-term ecological hazards. Fixed breakwaters are often an eyesore, it's an aesthetically displeasing sight on the shoreline.
Breakwaters are intended to protect homes and beaches, but as man-made structures they have some aesthetic and environmental disadvantages.
A well-designed floating breakwater can stop waves that are up to 6.5 feet high, while fixed breakwater can stop waves up to 10 feet high depending on their design and the local environment.

Dock: It is artificially enclosed basin into which vessels are brought for inspection and repair.
Quay: A quay is a long structure, usually built of stone, where boats can be tied up to take on and off their goods.
Gyroscope Question 10:
The moment of inertia an airplane air screw is 20 kg.m2 and the speed of rotation is 1000 rpm clockwise when viewed from the front. The speed of the flight is 200 km per hour. Find the gyroscopic acceleration (rad2/sec2) of the air screw on the airplane when it makes a left-handed turn on a path of 150 m radius
Answer (Detailed Solution Below) 38 - 39
Gyroscope Question 10 Detailed Solution
Explanation:
Given:
Ip = 20 kg – m2
\({\omega _s} = \frac{{2\pi \times 1000}}{{60}} = 104.67\;rad/sec\;\)
\({\omega _p} = \frac{V}{r} = \frac{{200 \times 1000}}{{3600 \times 150}} = 0.37\;rad/sec\)
Now,
Gyroscopic acceleration = ωs × ωp
∴ Gyroscopic acceleration = 104.67 × 0.37
∴ Gyroscopic acceleration = 38.7279 rad2/sec2
