An airplane has just cleared the runway with a takeoff speed v. Each of its freely spinning wheels has a mass m, with a radius of gyration k about its axle. As seen from the front of the airplane, the wheel precesses at the angular rate Ω as the landing strut is folded into the wing about its pivot O. As a result of the gyroscopic action, the supporting member A exerts a torsional moment M on B to prevent the tubular member from rotating in the sleeve at B. Determine M and identify whether it is in the sense of
