    The document describes two physics problems involving gyroscopes and rolling coins. The first problem involves finding the angle β that a string makes with the vertical for a gyroscope wheel undergoing uniform precession at one end of an axle. The second problem involves deriving an expression for the tilt angle α of a coin in terms of its radius R, mass M, speed V, and the radius b of the circular path it traces when its plane is tilted and it rolls on a horizontal surface.

    TM3C: Gyroscope

    1. KK 8.3: A gyroscope wheel is at one end of an axle of length l.


    The other end of the axle is suspended from a string of length
    L. The wheel is set into motion so that it executes uniform
    precession in the horizontal plane. The wheel has mass M and
    moment of inertia about its center of mass I0 . Its spin angular
    velocity is ωs . Neglect the masses of the shaft and string. Find
    the angle β that the string makes with the vertical. Assume that
    β is so small that approximations like sin β ≈ β are justified.

    Extra problems:

    1. KK 8.6: A coin of radius R and mass M rolls on a horizontal


    surface at speed V . If the plane of the coin is vertical the coin
    rolls in a straight line. If the plane is tilted, the path of the coin
    is a circle of radius b. Find an expression for the tilt angle of the
    coin α in terms of the given quantities. (Because of the tilt of
    the coin the circle traced by its center of mass is slightly smaller
    than b but you can ignore the difference.)
