Question
Please help with number 10. Thank you.
In the following problems you should answer with no more than 50 words. No equations are necessary unless they help clarify your arguments. Gyroscopes are used in spacecraft and aircraft as navigational aides. a gyroscope is usually mounted on gimbal mounts that allows it to rotate in any direction. Using the material you have learned, explain why you think this would make a good navigational device. What is the best shape for the spinning object at the center of the device, why? Gyroscope is a spinning disk whose axle is free to take any orientation which changes muchless in response to a given torque than it would without the large angular momentum associated with its high rate of spin. Since external torque is minimized, its orientation is neany fixed, regardless of any motion of the platform (spacecraft) so a wheel is the best shape for the device inside. Two small balls of the same mass and shape arc attached by a massless string of length L. Ball a is placed on a frictionless table and ball B is held a distance L/2 over the edge with the string taut. When ball B is dropped, will it hit the side of the table before a reaches the edge or will a reach the edge first? You do not need to write any equations for this question, just explaining your reasoning will suffice.Explanation / Answer
a will reach the edge because there will be a additional centrifugal force in contribution to gravitational force to pull a downward
