what is the difference between groscopic effect and centrifugal force.?

Answer 1

Gyroscopic effect and centrifugal force are two entirely different things. First about the gyroscope. It is a symmetrical rotating body spinning on its axis. Once it starts spinning it resists changes to the orientation of spin axis. This property is gainfully used in several applications primarily for navigation on airplanes, ships stabilizing platforms as also in missiles torpedoes etc. Also when a torque is applied to the spin axis it moves in a perpendicular direction .This property is called precision. Example of precision is the wobbling of a top due to its weight acting through CG applying a torque around the tip of the top. First modern gyroscope was demonstrated by a French Physicist BL Focault in thee 19th century. So much for the Gyroscopic effect.
Centrifugal force is a force directed away from center. For example imagine yourself in car taking tight circular turn while negotiating a road.You can actually experience this force. Just to ensure that automobiles are stable on roads during such tight turns we provide camber to roads to ensure that the resultant force acting on the vehicle(vector sum of weight and centrifugal force) falls well with in the wheel base of the car.

Answer 2

Gyroscopic Force

Answer 3

Gyroscopic Effect:
A gyroscope is a device for measuring or maintaining orientation, based on the principle of conservation of angular momentum. In physics this is also known as gyroscopic inertia or rigidity in space. The essence of the device is a spinning wheel on an axle. The device, once spinning, tends to resist changes to its orientation due to the angular momentum of the wheel.


Centrifugal Force:
Centrifugal force (from Latin centrum "center" and fugere "to flee") is a term which may refer to two different forces which are related to rotation. Both of them are oriented away from the axis of rotation, but the object on which they are exerted differs.
