2. Submit your Solution within due date in DOM-Google Class only.
3. Question 1 to 6 are compulsory for all students. Remaining as per their odd/even roll no.

1-Explain the term spin and precession. How do they differ from each other? Derive the expression of
gyroscopic couple.
2-explain gyroscopic effect on four wheeled vehicles.
3-explain gyroscopic effect on two wheeled vehicles.
4-explain gyroscopic effect on air crafts
5-explain gyroscopic effect on Ships
6-derive the expression for gyroscopic couple of grading mill with two conical rollers and state the effect.
7- A horizontal axle of length 100mm and of negligible weight is supported between two bearing. A disc
having mass of 5 kg with radius of gyration 60 mm is mounted centrally on the axle. The central line of
the axle, disc and the bearings lie in a horizontal plane. The disc is rotating at 720 rpm in clockwise
direction looking from the left hand side bearing. The axle precesses about a vertical axis at 60 rpm in
clockwise direction looking from the top. Determine the resultant reactions at each bearing due to the
weight of the disc and gyroscopic effect.
8- An aircraft consists of a propeller. It also consists of an engine and propeller of mass moment of inertia
150 kg m2. The engine rotates at 3600 rpm in a sense clockwise looking from rear. The aircraft completes
half circle of radius 100 m towards left when flying at 360 km per hr. determine the gyroscopic couple on
the aircraft and state its effect.
9- An aircraft consists of a propeller and engine. The mass moment of inertia of propeller and engine is
100 kg m2. The engine rotates at 2500 rpm in clockwise direction if viewed from the front of the aircraft.
The aircraft completes half circle of radius of 1000 m while flying at 500 km/hr. determines the
gyroscopic couple on the aircraft and state its effect.
10- A car is of total mass 3000 kg. It has wheel base equal to 2.5 m and track width equal to 1.5.m. the
effective diameter of each wheel is 80 cm and moment of inertia of each wheel is 1.0 kg m 2. The rear axle
ratio is 4. The mass moment of inertia of engine rotating parts is 3 kg m2 and spin axis of engine parts is
perpendicular to the spin axis of wheels. Determine the reaction of each wheel if car takes right turn of
100 m radius at 108 km/hr speed. Also determine critical speed. The height of C.G. IS 0.5 m from ground
and it is placed on the vertical line through geometric centre of wheels.
