Is it just equal to the external torque acting on the spinning wheel?
Torque of precession is a rotational force that acts on a spinning object, causing it to precess or rotate around a different axis.
To calculate the torque of precession, you will need to know the angular velocity of the spinning wheel, the moment of inertia of the wheel, and the angle between the axis of rotation and the direction of the applied force. The formula for torque of precession is T = Iωsinθ, where T is the torque, I is the moment of inertia, ω is the angular velocity, and θ is the angle between the axis of rotation and the applied force.
Yes, the formula T = Iωsinθ can be used to calculate torque of precession for any spinning object as long as you have the necessary information, such as angular velocity and moment of inertia.
The torque of precession for a spinning wheel is affected by the angular velocity of the wheel, the moment of inertia of the wheel, and the angle between the axis of rotation and the applied force. Additionally, the shape and size of the wheel can also impact the torque of precession.
Torque of precession is a rotational force that causes a spinning object to rotate around a different axis, while torque of rotation is a rotational force that causes an object to rotate around its own axis. Additionally, torque of precession is affected by the angular velocity of the spinning object, while torque of rotation is affected by the linear velocity of the rotating object.
