A horizontal axle AB, 1 m long, is pivoted at the
mid point C. It carries a weight of 20 N at A and
a wheel weighing 50 N at B. The wheel is made
to spin at a speed of 600 r.p.m. in a clockwise
direction looking from its front. Assuming that
the weight of the flywheel is uniformly distributed
around the rim whose mean diameter is 0.6 m
calculate the angular velocity of precession of
the system around the vertical axis through

Answer:
men my age I will be in the morning of the day and I am the one I want a year ago the check for the first to the time to get a little bit about me kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk ghgfd to the time to get a little bit more about the time and moving forward please please please let us not being met to the same day and I want you check with your company is the only thing that has been sent to you and moving with a year or two and I will not be in need help on how the next few weeks
Given that :
Length of the axle, L= 1m (from A to B)
Load at A, Fa= 20N ; Load at B (wheel), Fb= 50N ;
Angular velocity, w = 600rpm = 62.83 rad/s; Diameter = 0.6m, Radius = 0.3m
Step 1 :
Draw FBD to calculate the resultant moment of the axle. (center pivoted)
M= 50(0.5)-20(0.5) = 15 Nm
therefore gyroscopic couple, C = M = 15Nm
Step 2:
Gyroscopic couple = moment of inertia x angular velocity x precession
15 = (50/9.81)(0.3)^2 x 62.83 x precession
Precession= 0.52 rad/s
*moment of inertia= moment of inertia of the flywheel at point B.
