Click For Summary
Adding mass to a rotating gyroscope in precession will affect its angular momentum and the rate of precession. The increased mass can lead to a change in the gyroscope's moment of inertia, which may alter the speed and frequency of nutation and precession. Numerical methods, such as applying the equations of motion for rigid bodies, can be used to calculate these changes. Understanding the relationship between torque, angular momentum, and mass is crucial for accurate predictions. The dynamics of gyroscopic motion are complex, and precise calculations will depend on the specific parameters of the system.

Hello,
I am doing a project on a Gyroscopic Briefcase. What i want to know is that, if i add some additional mass to the rotating gyroscope ( which is in preceession ) what would be the result in the precession of gyroscope? Is there any numerical way to find the final result (i.e. speed, frequency ) of Nutation and precession for the gyroscope.

Thanks

Thread 'Is this a coincidence?... (distances between planets)'

I'm not a student or graduate in Astrophysics.. Wish i were though... I was playing with distances between planets... I found that Mars, Ceres, Jupiter and Saturn have somthing in common... They are in a kind of ratio with another.. They all got a difference about 1,84 to 1,88x the distance from the previous planet, sub-planet. On average 1,845x. I thought this can be coincidential. So i took the big moons of Jupiter and Saturn to do the same thing jupiter; Io, Europa and Ganymede have a...
