Find the mass-radius necessary to statically balance the system by placing the center of mass on the axis of 

Find the mass-radius necessary to statically balance the system by placing the center of mass on the axis of rotation for the following 2 masses in 3 dimensions. You are to balance the moments about plane B by adding a mass to plane A and then find the mass-radius that puts the center of mass on the axis of rotation. The first mr is 334 lb-in at an angle of 115 and distance of -5.2 inches from plane B. The second mr is 442 lb-in at an angle of 353 and distance of -2.2 inches from plane B. The moments are to be balanced by putting mass on plane A which is 5 inches from plane B. (Enter your answer to the nearest positive whole number of lb-in.) Type your answer....
