Gyroscopic Motion - I

Thus, the left bearing will be loaded downward and the rigth will be loaded upward.

Gyroscope can be used for stabilizing the ship. Roll of a ship can be stabilized by the action of a heavy rapidly spinning disc rotating in a set of bearing.

In the absence of any torque vector along the longitudinal axes, the ship will be able to roll.

Final note: It is very easy for you to verify that for precession axis not perpendicular to gyroscopic axis, the following formula can be used:
