Question 41
MENAT2 marksNeeds review
A uniform disc with radius
and a mass of
kg is mounted centrally on a horizontal axle of negligible mass and length of 1.5r. The disc spins counter-clockwise about the axle with angular speed
, when viewed from the right-hand side bearing, Q. The axle precesses about a vertical axis at
in the clockwise direction when viewed from above. Let
and
(positive upwards) be the resultant reaction forces due to the mass and the gyroscopic effect, at bearings P and Q, respectively. Assuming
and
, the ratio of the larger to the smaller bearing reaction force (considering appropriate signs) is ______.
