Problem 1.287

A cylindrical disc of a gyroscope of mass m=15 kgm=15 \mathrm{~kg} and radius r=5.0 cmr=5.0 \mathrm{~cm} spins with an angular velocity ω=330rad/s\omega=330 \mathrm{rad} / \mathrm{s} The distance between the bearings in which the axle of the disc is mounted is equal to l=15 cm.l=15 \mathrm{~cm} . The axle is forced to oscillate about a horizontal axis with a period T=1.0 sT=1.0 \mathrm{~s} and amplitude φm=20\varphi_{m}=20^{\circ} Find the maximum value of the gyroscopic forces exerted by the axle on the bearings.
