  2. 5(a). An aeroplane makes a complete half circle of 50 metres radius towards left when flying at 200 km/h. The rotary engine and propeller have a mass of 400 kg with radius of gyration 300 mm. The engine runs at 2400 r.p.m. clockwise when viewed from the rear. Find the gyroscopic couple on the aircraft and state its effect. What is the effect if the aeroplane turns right instead?20267m
