- Q3 A uniform sphere 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 sphere spins about its 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 Figure below. If the distance between the bearings is 100 mm, find the resultant reaction at each bearing due to the mass and gyroscopic effects.

- A spinning top consists of a ring (which can be treated as a cylindrical shell) of mass m = 0.52 kg and a radius of 60 mm is mounted on its central pointed shaft with spokes. The spokes and pointed shaft have negligible mass meaning that their inertia can be neglected. The top has a spin velocity of 10,000 rev/min and is released on a horizontal surface with the point at O remaining at a fixed point. Assuming that the spin angular velocity is high when compared to the precession, determine the magnitude of the precession angular velocity of the top. 15° 60 mm 80 mm 10000 rev/minarrow_forwardA spinning top consists of a ring (which can be treated as a cylindrical shell) of mass m = 0.52 kg and a radius of 60 mm is mounted on its central pointed shaft with spokes.
