Course Content:
Balancing of rotating masses in one and in several planes - Balancing of
reciprocating masses Single and multi-cylinder engines.
Questions:
1. A shaft is rotating at a uniform angular speed. Four masses M1, M2, and
M3and M4 of magnitudes 300kg, 450kg, 360kg, 390kg respectively are
attached rigidly to the shaft. The masses are rotating in the same plane. The
corresponding radii of rotation are 200mm, 150mm, 250 mm and 300mm
respectively. The angle made by these masses with horizontal are 0.45,
120and 255respectively. Find, (i) the magnitude of balancing mass (ii) the
position of balancing mass if its radius of rotation is 200mm.
2. Four masses M1, M2, M3, and M4 are 200kg, 300kg, 240kg and 260kg
respectively. The corresponding radii of rotation are 0.2m, 0.15m, 0.25m and
0.3m respectively and the angle between successive masses45, 75,
and135.Find the position and magnitude of balance mass required if its
radius of rotation is 0.25m.

masses revolve are spaced 600mm apart and the masses of B,C and D are

setting of the four masses so that the shaft be in complete balance.

shaft. The mass B is 7kg and the radii of C and D make angle s of 90 and
240 respectively with the radius of B.Find the magnitude of masses A,C and
D and angular position of A . So that the system may be completely balanced.
