If the axes of the rolling of the ship and of the stabilizing rotor are parallel, it will result in . (a) A higher bow and lower stern (b) A lower bow and higher stern (c) Turning towards left (d) No gyroscopic effect |

Answer» (d) No gyroscopic effect If rotor rotating axis i.e. the axis of spin and rolling axis are parallel, then during rolling there will not be any precession i.e. the direction of spin will not be changing during rolling of ship. Therefore angular velocity of precession ωp = 0 = C = I. ω.ωp = 0 Therefore, ship will not experience any gyroscopic effect during rolling. |
