A large and very high-speed turbine is to operate at an angular velocity of = 18

Question:

A large and very high-speed turbine is to operate at an angular velocity of ω = 18 000 rev/min and will have a rotor with a principal mass moment of inertia of Is = 225 in · lb · s2. It has been suggested that since this turbine will be installed at the North Pole with its axis horizontal, perhaps the rotation of the earth will cause gyroscopic loads on its bearings. Estimate the size of these additional loads.
