Demonstration and practical set for working up the gyroscope laws.
Key Features
- Precession (influence of torque and rotational frequency)
- Nutation (influence of the speed of the disc on the nutational frequency)
- Measurement of the moment of inertia of the gyroscope disc from the angular acceleration for a known torque
- Investigation of the relationship between the duration of a precession rotation and the rotational frequency of the gyroscope disc
- Investigation of the relationship between the precession frequency and the turning moment exerted on the gyroscope axis for constant rotational frequency of the disc
- Determination of the relationship between the rotational and nutational frequency of the gyroscope disc
- Gyroscope disc with double ball bearings, balanced and freely movable via 3 axes, which is wound up by hand with the aid of a thread
- Mounted on a metal stand
- Sliding counterweight for calibrating the gyro disc
