The special-purpose fan is mounted as shown. The motor armature, shaft, and blades have a combined mass of 2.2 kg with radius of gyration of 60 mm. The axial position b of the 0.8-kg block A can be adjusted. With the fan turned off, the unit is balanced about the x-axis when b = 180 mm. The motor and fan operate at 1725 rev/min in the direction shown. Determine the value of b which will produce a steady precession of 0.2 rad/s about the positive y-axis.
