In our earlier posts, we discussed about the free gyro, Gyroscope conversion and its damped/undamped oscillations. In this post, we will discuss about Settling period of Gyro. When the compass is settled, the spin axis has a constant tilt. The delaying action of the damping arrangement will therefore have no effect as there is no […]
In our earlier posts, we discussed about the free gyro, Gyroscope conversion, damped oscillation and its settling period. In this post, we will discuss about undamped oscillation of Gyro. The free gyro does not contain any instrument which may be called a compass. The direction of the spin axis relative to the earth’s’ surface continually […]
Sagnac effect : The Difference in path Length (∆L) is directional proportional to Angular Rotation (ω). When course is steady:- Path traveled by F1=2πR Path traveled by F2=2πR When Course changes:- Path traveled by F1= 2πR+AB Path traveled by F2= 2πR – AB Difference in Path Length i.e. ∆L = 2AB or ∆L = 2RӨ (Since […]
