Correct option is (c) 33.185 kN-m
To elaborate: Given : m = 20 t = 20 000 kg ; k = 0.6 m ; N = 2000 r.p.m. or ω = 2π × 2000/60 = 209.5 rad/s; φ = 6° = 6 × π/180 = 0.105 rad ; tp = 30 s
We know that mass moment of inertia of the rotor,
I = m.k^2 = 20 000 (0.6)^2 = 7200 kg-m^2
and angular velocity of the simple harmonic motion,
ω1 = 2π / tp = 2π/30 = 0.21 rad/s
Maximum angular velocity of precession,
ωPmax = φ.ω1 = 0.105 × 0.21 = 0.022 rad/s
We know that maximum gyroscopic couple,
Cmax = I.ω.ωPmax = 7200 × 209.5 × 0.022 = 33 185 N-m
= 33.185 kN-m
