6. A shaft with 3 metres 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 centres, estimate the magnitude of the two balance masses and their orientation with respect to the X-axis, i.e. mass of 10 kg.

In order to unscrew the tapped faucet A, a plumber uses two pipe wrenches as shown. By exerting a 40-lb force on each wrench, at a distance of 10 in. from the axis of the pipe and in a direction perpendicular to the pipe and to the wrench, he prevents the pipe from rotating, and thus avoids loosening or further tightening the joint between the pipe and the tapped elbow C. Determine (a) the angle θ that the wrench at A should form with the vertical if elbow C is not to rotate about the vertical, (b) the force-couple system at Cequivalent to the two 40-lb forces when this condition is satisfied.
A truck with four wheels, each 750 mm diameter, travels on rails round a curve of 75 m at a speed of 50 km/h. The total mass of the truck is 5 t and its centre of gravity is midway between the axles, 1.05 m above the rails and midway between them. Each pair of wheels is driven by a motor rotating in the opposite direction to the wheels and at four times the speed. The moment of inertia of each pair of wheels is 15 Kgm2. The rails lie on a horizontal plane and 1.45 m apart. Determine the load on each rail.
