4. WHAT OUR BOOKS SAY..??
Gyroscope is a device for measuring or
maintaining orientation, based on the
principles of angular momentum.
Gyroscopic Effect: The torque on the
gyroscope applied perpendicular to its axis
of rotation and also perpendicular to its
angular momentum causes it to rotate
about an axis perpendicular to both the
torque and the angular momentum. This
rotational motion is referred to as
precession.
