The axis of precession is ____________ to the plane in which the axis of spin is going to rotate.
View Answer Explanation
The engine of an aeroplane rotates in clockwise direction when seen from the tail end and the aeroplane takes a turn to the left. The effect of gyroscopic couple on the aeroplane will be
The engine of an aeroplane rotates in clockwise direction when seen from the tail end and the aeroplane takes a turn to the right. The effect of gyroscopic couple on the aeroplane will be to dip the nose and raise the tail.
The steering of a ship means
The rolling of a complete ship side-ways is known as pitching of a ship.
The rotor of a ship rotates in clockwise direction when viewed from stern and the ship takes a left turn. The effect of gyroscopic couple acting on it will be
The rotor of a ship rotates in clockwise direction when viewed from stern and the ship takes a right turn. The effect of gyroscopic couple acting on it will be to raise the stern and lower the bow.
The pitching of a ship is assumed to take place with simple harmonic motion.
When the pitching of a ship is upward, the effect of gyroscopic couple acting on it will be
The height of a Watt’s governor (in metres) in equal to
The ratio of the height of a Porter governor (when the length of arms and links are equal) to the height of a Watt’s governor is
