MS-143 PVG GYROSCOPE

Low friction, open design of Gyroscope for studies of rotational
motion. The low friction allows speeds slow enough to let students
study slow precession as well as fast. The completely open model
lets students stop precession by grabbing the vertical shaft and
observe that the Gyroscope dips. This is what mathematics of
rotation says will happen. The apparatus comprises a stable round
heavy base so that every experiment is free from wobble and
vibration. Two counter weights allows a quick coarse adjustment
and accurate fine adjustment for proper balancing. Steel vertical
shaft of size 300 x 10 mm. length x diameter, fitted with two steel
discs of diameter 75 and 100 mm. Discs are spun by wrapping a
string and pulling or discs can even be spun by hand. Gyroscope is
an exceptionally fine tool for illustrating the concepts of rotational
motion.
