The spin axis of a gyroscope tends to remain fixed in space in the direction in which it is started. How does this gyroscope become north seeking so that it can be used as a compass?
A
By mechanically or electrically applying forces to precess the gyroscope
B
By starting the compass with the spin axis in a north/south position
C
By taking advantage of the property of gyroscopic inertia
D
The rotation of the Earth (Earth rate) automatically aligns the gyroscope with north, except for speed errors
E
