Precession Period of A Gyroscope?

sarrmir

Hi Im doing my geodesy lab and dont really know how to calculate period of gyro?

How the Precession Period of A Gyroscope is calculated?
given D= diameter of gyro, f= spinng freq w= weight , g =9.8 and distance d= distance between center of gyro and for example Sun

Assumption: mass of the gyro is at the circumference

The Wikipedia article (and every book about classical mechanics) has formulas.
I don't think the sun is relevant.
