GYROSCOPE, BICYCLE WHEEL

This apparatus is designed to help students understand about the world of rotational physics and demonstration of the angular momentum, torque and gyroscopic precession. Spin the wheel to move the wheel’s axis of rotation and hang it from the end of the rope and wheel axel keeping the rope in the vertical orientation and the axel in the horizontal orientation, the wheel will precess with the rope remaining vertical. A hooked rope is also provided with apparatus.
