In the shaft below, mass A will be balanced by masses B and C. The shaft rotates at 30 rad/s. Mass A is 55 kg. r1 = 0.3 m, r2 = 0.25 m, r3 = 0.15 m, l2 = 2 m, l3 = 1 m. What should the masses of B and C be in kg?

Step 1
The sum of the centrifugal forces must be zero. 2. The sum of the moments of the centrifugal forces about any point along the shaft must be zero. The centrifugal force for a mass m at a radius r rotating with angular velocity $\omega$ is given by $F = m r Show more…

A shaft with a 3-meter span between two bearings carries two masses of 10 kg and 20 kg acting at the extremities of the arms 0.45 m and 0.6 m long respectively. The planes in which these masses rotate are 1.2 m and 2.4 m respectively from the left end bearing supporting the shaft. The angle between the arms is 60°. The speed of rotation of the shaft is 200 r.p.m. If the masses are balanced by two counter-masses rotating with the shaft acting at radii of 0.3 m and placed at 0.3 m from each bearing center, estimate the magnitude of the two balance masses and their orientation with respect to the X-axis, i.e. mass of 10 kg.
