When does a gimbal lock occur on a three axis platform?(a) Inner gimbal approaches 90°(b) Inner gimbal approaches 0°(c) Outer gimbal approaches 90°(d) Middle gimbal approaches 90° |
Answer» The correct answer is (d) Middle gimbal approaches 90° To elaborate: The condition in which the middle gimbal angle approaches 90° is called gimbal lock. In this condition, the innermost and outermost axis coincide, thus depriving the platform one of its degrees of freedom. |
