Topic: Theory of Machines

In the case of gyroscopic effect, the planes of spin, gyroscopic couple and precession are

  • A. In same plane
  • B. In different planes
  • C. Any two in perpendicular planes and third in different plane
  • D. Mutually perpendicular

Answer: D. Mutually perpendicular

Explanation: To achieve the effective gyroscopic effect, the planes of spin, gyroscopic couple and axis of precession are mutually perpendicular to each other.
