单词 | gyroscope |
释义 | gyroscope [`jī·rǝ´skōp] ENGINEERING An instrument that maintains an angular reference direction by virtue of a rapidly spinning, heavy mass; all applications of the gyroscope depend on a special form of Newton's second law, which states that a massive, rapidly spinning body rigidly resists being disturbed and tends to react to a disturbing torque by precessing (rotating slowly) in a direction at right angles to the direction of torque. Also known as gyro. |
