The frame of a gyroscope in fig. is supported at O so that it can turn freely in all directions. The wheel is a uniform disc of 10 cm diameter weighing 2 kg with its centre 20 cm from O. The frame alone weighs 1 kg with centre of gravity G1, 12 cm from O. If the wheel spins as shown at 10,000 r.p.m. with its axle in the horizontal plane, find the time required for the axle to make one revolution about O. Mention the direction of this rotation. Find also the vertical and horizontal forces by the support on the frame.

Question
The frame of a gyroscope in fig. is supported at O so that it can turn freely in all
directions. The wheel is a uniform disc of 10 cm diameter weighing 2 kg with its centre
20 cm from O. The frame alone weighs 1 kg with centre of gravity G1, 12 cm from O.
If the wheel spins as shown at 10,000 r.p.m. with its axle in the horizontal plane, find
the time required for the axle to make one revolution about O. Mention the direction of
this rotation. Find also the vertical and horizontal forces by the support on the frame.
