Question: For a single cylinder engine determine the bearing forces caused by the gyroscopic action of the flywheel (left(I=0.32 mathrm{~kg} cdot mathrm{m}^{2} ight)) as the engine

For a single cylinder engine determine the bearing forces caused by the gyroscopic action of the flywheel \(\left(I=0.32 \mathrm{~kg} \cdot \mathrm{m}^{2}\right)\) as the engine traverses a \(305 \mathrm{~m}\) radius curve at \(96.6 \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{h}\) in a turn to the right. The engine speed is \(3300 \mathrm{rpm}\) and it is turning clockwise when viewed from the front of the engine. The centre distance between the bearings is \(152 \mathrm{~mm}\).
