GYROSCOPES

#1. Rigidity of a gyroscope depends on:

• Aweight, force applied and speed of rotation.
• Brate of precession and the force applied.
• Cweight, rate of precession and speed of rotation.
• Dmass, radius of gyration and speed of rotation.

#2. A force is applied to deflect a gyroscope. If the RPM of the gyro is then doubled the precession rate will:

• Aremain as before.
• Bincrease
• Cdecrease
• Dcease altogether.

#3. In gyroscopic theory the term ‘topple' is defined as:

• Areal wander only, in the horizontal plane.
• Breal wander only, in the vertical plane.
• Cwander, real or apparent, in the vertical plane.
• Dwander, real or apparent, in the horizontal plane.
