The earth’s rotation axis, which is tilted 23.5­ from the plane of the earth’s orbit, today points to Polaris, the north star. But Polaris has not always been the north star because the earth, like a spinning gyroscope, precesses. That is, a line extending along the earth’s rotation axis traces out a 23.5­ cone as the earth precesses with a period of 26,000 years. This occurs because the earth is not a perfect sphere. It has an equatorial bulge, which allows both the moon and the sun to exert a gravitational torque on the earth. Our expression for the precession frequency of a gyroscope can be written Ω=𝜏/ω. Although we derived this equation for a specific situation, it’s a valid result, differing by at most a constant close to 1, for the precession of any rotating object. What is the average gravitational torque on the earth due to the moon and the sun?

A toy gyroscope has a ring of mass M and radius R attached to the axle by lightweight spokes. The end of the axle is distance R from the center of the ring. The gyroscope is spun at angular velocity v, then the end of the axle is placed on a support that allows the gyroscope to precess. a. Find an expression for the precession frequency Ω in terms of M, R, v, and g. b. A 120 g, 8.0-cm-diameter gyroscope is spun at 1000 rpm and allowed to precess. What is the precession period?
