Title: Study Of Gyroscopic effect and determination of gyroscopic couple.

Equipment: Aim:

Motorized Gyroscope

To study the gyroscopic principle and verify the relation between the applied torque, Spin velocity and Precessional velocity in case of free precession and forced precession.

Formula Used: 1. Gyroscopic couple C = I x w x wp 2. Applied Torque (T) = W X r

Procedure Of Experiment: Part I: The spinning body exerts a torque or a couple in such a direction which tends to make the axis of spin coincides with that of the precession. To study the phenomenon of forced precession following procedure is adopted. 1. Balance initial horizontal position of rotor. 2. Start the motor and adjust the voltage to get the constant speed. 3. Press the yoke frame about the vertical axis by applying the necessary force by hand in the clockwise direction viewed from the top. 4. It will be observed that rotor frame swing about the horizontal axis so that the motor side moves upwards. 5. Rotating the yoke axis in the opposite direction causes the rotor frame to move in the opposite direction. Part II: The spinning body precesses in such a way that to make the axis of spin to coincide with that of the applied couple. The direction is verified by following the procedure given below and using the apparatus as well as the relation for the magnitude of the couple. 1. Balance the rotor in the horizontal plane. 2. Start the motor and adjust the speed with the help of voltage regulation. The speed is measured using a tachometer. 3. Put weights on the side opposite to the motor. 4. The yoke start precessing. 5. Note down the direction of precession. 6. Verify this direction 7. Measure the velocity of precession using the pointer provided the yoke and stop watch. 8. Verify the relation C = I X W X wp

Give the required initial compression to the spring. In order that initial compression is not lost during operation, the check nut is to be tightened against spring seat. 3. Choose suitable amount of weight to be added to the follower weight with central hole can be inserted from the top end of the push rod. A rest plate for the weights should be firstly screwed to the lowest position, tighten against it, so that there will be no loosening of the rest plate after adding the required weights. Tightly to push rod. 4. See that the knob of the dimmerstat is at zero position 5. Now switch on the supply and increase the speed of the motor gradually with help of dimmerstat.
