Assertion (A): The ball of the slip indicator is driven by a gyroscope.
Reason (R): It responds to the resultant of gravity and centrifugal force.
Select the correct answer from the options below.
Answer: D
Correct answer: A is false but R is true
The reason is correct: the ball settles along the resultant of gravity and the centrifugal force of the turn, which is why it centres in a balanced turn and slides towards the inside when slipping.
The assertion is false. It is a ball in a curved glass tube filled with damping fluid - an inclinometer with no rotating part whatever. It shares a case with the gyroscopic turn instrument, which is the only reason the two are confused.
