Turbine rotor of a ship has a mass of 2.2 tonnes and rotate at 1800 rpm clockwise, when viewed from aft. The radius of gyration of rotor is 320 mm. Determine the gyroscopic couple and its effects, when

1. the ship turns at radius of 250 mm, with speed of 25km/h.
2. The ship pitches with the bow rising at an angular velocity of 0.8 rad/sec.
3. Ship rolls at an angular velocity of 0.1 rad/sec.

M= 2200 kg

R= 250 m

K= 0.32 m

N= 1800 rpm

V$= 25 km/h \\ = 25×1000/3600 \\ = 6.94 m/s$

1. I$= mk^2 \\ = 2200×(0.32)^2 \\ = 225.3 kg-m^2$

   $W= \dfrac{2πN}{60}= \dfrac{2×π×1800}{60}= 188.5 rad/sec. \\ W_p= \dfrac{V}{R} = \dfrac{6.94}{250}= 0.0278 rad/sec.$

2. C$= I_{wwp} \\ = 225.3×188.5×0.0278$

   C= 1180 …
