For what ratios of
Answer to Problem 127RP
The motion is in direct precession if
The motion is in retrograde precession if
Explanation of Solution
Write the expression of moment of inertia along x axis.
Here, mass of the cylinder is m, radius of the cylinder is r and length of the cylinder is l.
Write the expression of moment of inertia along z axis.
Obtain the ratio of moment of inertia.
Direct precession:
Thus, the motion is in direct precession if
Retrograde precession:
Thus, the motion is in retrograde precession if
