Question: Example 1 A rotating shaft with two weights can be modelled as shown in the Figure below. Weight W 1 = 1 0 N @

Example 1
A rotating shaft with two weights can be modelled as shown in the Figure below. Weight W1=10N@30 at a radius of 15 cm and weight W2=15N @ 270 at a radius of 10 cm . Assume the acceleration due to gravity is g=10ms2. If only static balancing is done using a weight of Wb=10N, find the angle b of the balance mass and its radius Rb.
Example 2
Dynamic balancing is to be performed on the same rotating shaft as shown in the figure. For this case it is necessary that
a) the shaft has constant angular acceleration and 1 balancing mass in plane 4
b) the shaft has zero angular acceleration and 1 balancing mass in plane 3
c) the shaft has zero angular acceleration and 2 balancing masses in planes 3 and 4
d) all of the above
