A bicycle wheel of radius 20 cm is mounted at the middle of


A bicycle wheel of radius 20 cm is mounted at the middle of an axle 43 cm long. The tire and rim weigh 24 N. The wheel is spun at 13 rev/s, and the axle is then placed in a horizontal position with one end resting on a pivot

(a) What is the angular speed of precession?

(b) How long does it take for the axle to swing through 360° around the pivot?

(c) What is the magnitude of the angular momentum associated with the motion of the center of mass, that is, due to the precession?
