21:28 SA 15 MB 100N + Problem 3: Suspended Conical Gyroscope Consider a gyroscope consisting of the solid cone (from problem 1), attached to a rope of length L which hangs from the ceiling. The cone spins around an axis through the tip of the cone and the center of mass with angular velocity w.. The cone is aligned so that the angular momentum around its center of mass is always parallel to the horizontal. As a result, the rope will make an angle a with the vertical axis. Draw a free-body diagram labelling all forces and the torque. Find the angle a the rope makes with the vertical axis, assuming a<1. ©
