    Gyroscope Problems

    1. The document describes five examples involving gyroscopic effects on rotating objects, such as the rotors of ships or aircraft, when external forces cause angular motion. 2. Gyroscopic effects produce couples (rotational forces) that resist changes in the orientation of the spinning object. In the examples, calculating these gyroscopic couples allows determination of how the spinning object or entire vessel responds to turning, pitching, rolling, or other angular motions. 3. The examples provide details like the mass, rotation speed and radius/diameter needed to calculate gyroscopic couples for ship rotors undergoing turns, pitches and rolls, as well as an aircraft rotor during a banked turn.

    Gyroscope

    1. A uniform disc of 150 mm diameter has a mass of 5 kg. It is


    mounted centrally in bearings which maintain its axle in a
    horizontal plane. The disc spins about it axle with a constant
    speed of 1000 r.p.m. while the axle precesses uniformly about
    the vertical at 60 r.p.m. The directions of rotation are as shown
    in Fig. If the distance between the bearings is 100 mm, find the
    resultant reaction at each bearing due to the mass and
    gyroscopic effects.

    2. A uniform disc having a mass of 8kg and radius of gyration of


    150 mm is mounted on one end of a horizontal arm of 200 mm
    length. The other end of the arm can rotate freely in a universal
    bearing. The disc is given a clockwise spin of 240 rpm as seen
    from the disc end of the arm. Determine the motion of the disc
    if the arm remains horizontal.

    3. An aero plane flying at 240 kmph turns towards the left and
    completes a quarter circle of 60m radius. The mass of the rotary
    engine and the propeller of the plane is 450 kg with radius of
    gyration of 320 mm. The engine speed is 2000 rpm clockwise
    when viewed from the rear. Determine the gyroscopic couple on
    the aircraft and state its effect.

    4. The turbine rotor of a ship has a mass of 2.2 tons and rotates
    at 1800 rpm clockwise when viewed from the aft. The radius of
    gyration of the rotor is 320mm. Determine the gyroscopic couple
    and its effect when the
    a. Ship turns right at a radius of 250 m with a speed of 25
    kmph.
    b. Ship pitches with the bow rising at an angular velocity of
    0.8 rad/s
    c. Ship rolls at an angular velocity of 0.1 rad/s

    5. The rotor of the turbine of a ship has a mass of 2500kg and


    rotates at a speed of 3200 rpm counter-clockwise when viewed
    from stern. The rotor has radius of gyration of 0.4 m. Determine
    the gyroscopic couple and its effect when
    a. The ship steers to the left in a curve of 80 m radius at a
    speed of 15 knots (1 knot = 1860 m/h)
    b. The ship pitches 5degrees above and 5 degrees below the
    normal position and the bow is descending with its
    maximum velocity – the pitching motion is SHM with a
    periodic time of 40 seconds.
    c. The ship rolls and at the instant, its angular velocity is 0.4
    rad/s clockwise when viewed from stern.
    Also find the maximum angular acceleration during pitching.
