Question: A rotating shaft carries three masses, ( A , B ) , and ( C ) rigidly attached to it; the

A rotating shaft carries three masses, \( A, B \), and \( C \) rigidly attached to it; the centers of mass are at \(40\mathrm{~mm},50\mathrm{~mm}\), and 55 mm respectively from the axis of rotation; \( A \) and \( C \) are \(10\mathrm{~kg},6\mathrm{~kg}\). The rotating unbalance on the shaft itself due to inconsistencies of shaft material density and casting irregularities can be considered as an extra \( D \) mass of 5 kg attached to the shaft at 45 mm from the axis of rotation. The axial distances between planes carrying masses \( A \) and \( B \) are 500 mm , and that between \( B \) and \( C \) is 600 mm ; the eccentricities of \( A \) and \( C \) are at \(90^{\circ}\) to one another.
By sketching a couple polygon and force polygon, find for complete balance:
(a) The angles between \( A, B \) and \( A, D \).
(10 points)
(b) The axial distance between the planes of revolution of \( C \) and \( D \).
(10 points)
(c) The mass \( B \).
(05 points)
A rotating shaft carries three masses, \ ( A , B
