Hence, the resultant moment is at 241.67 with OA.
9) A shaft carries four masses A, B, C and D weighing 200, 300, 240 and 260 kg and revolving at radii 9
cm, 7 cm, 10 cm and 12 cm in planes (measured from A) at 27 cm, 42 cm and 72 cm. The angle
between A to B is 45, B to C 75 and C to D 135. The balancing masses are to be placed in the

planes at 12 cm and 10 cm from A and D respectively, the distance between them being 50 cm. Find
the balancing masses and their angular positions. The distance of each balancing mass from shaft
axis is 24cm.
Assuming the eccentricity of each balancing mass = 9.24 m.

10) Four masses A, B, C and D are attached to a rotating shaft with radii 50, 62.5, 100 and 75 mm
respectively. The distances between planes A and B, between planes B & C and D are 600 mm each.
The masses B, C and D are 20 kg, 10 kg and 8 kg respectively. If the shaft is in complete balance,
then find:
(i) Magnitude of mass A, and
(ii) Angular positions of the four masses.
Let A, B, C and D be the planes of rotation of masses A to D.

(i) As the mass A is unknown, therefore take plane A as the reference plane.
(ii) The line joining the centre of mass B to the shaft axis is assumed horizontal.

pq is parallel to OB and its length represents 0.75 kg.m

which is given by 0.75/0.3 = 2.5 cm.
Now draw an arc of 3.6 cm (=1.08/0.3) about the centre q.
Now draw an arc of 4.0 cm (=1.2/0.3) about the centre p.
Their point of intersection is s.
We obtain the followings from measurements:
D makes an angle 100 with B in CCW.
C makes an angle 240 with B in CCW.
iv) Force diagram 1 cm = 0.25 kg.m
pq is parallel to OB and its length is given by 1.25/0.25 = 5.0 cm.
qs is parallel to OC and its length is given by 1.0/0.25 = 0.4 cm.
st is parallel to OA and its length is given by 0.6/0.25 = 2.4 cm.
By measurement: tp = 2.8 cm

Also on measurement we find that angle of A with B is 155 in CCW direction.
