Gyroscopic Stability: Principles and Applications

Description

This lecture covers the principles of gyroscopic stability, focusing on the gyroscopic effect, precession, and nutation. It explains the applications of gyroscopes in navigation systems for boats, airplanes, and submarines, as well as in artificial horizons for aircraft. The lecture also discusses the gyroscopic properties of the Earth and provides examples of gyroscopic phenomena in everyday objects like bicycle wheels and spinning tops.
