The Hubble Space Telescope is stabilized to within an angle of about 2 millionths of a degree by means of a series of gyroscopes that spin at 19, 200 rpm. Although the structure of these gyroscopes is actually quite complex, we can model each of the gyroscopes as a thin-walled cylinder of mass 2.00 kg and diameter 5.00 cm, spinning about its central axis. For related problem-solving tips and strategies, you may want to view a Video Tutor Solution of A precessing gyroscope.
