Hi I am doing my geodesy lab and don't 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
