Question
The figure shows an arrangement of a heavy propeller shaft in a ship. The combined polar mass moment of inertia of the propeller and the shaft is 100 kg.m2. The propeller rotates at ω = 12 rad/s. The waves acting on the ship hull induces a rolling motion as shown in the figure with an angular velocity of 5 rad/s. The gyroscopic moment generated on the shaft due to the motion described is ______ N.m. (round of to the nearest integer).
Answer :
Correct answer is : 6000
l = 100 kgm2
ω = 12 rad/s
ωp = 5 rad/s
Gyroscopic couple 100 x 12 x 5 = 6000 Nm
