A gyroscope consists of a rotating disk with a 48.7-cm radius suitably mounted at the midpoint of a 12.2-cm-Iong axle so that it can spin and precess freely. Its spin rate is 975 rev/min. The mass of the disk is 1.14 kg and the mass of the axle is130 g. Find the time required for one precession if the axle is supported at one end and is horizontal
