A shaft turning at a uniform speed carries two uniform discs A and B of masses 10kg and 8kg respectively.  The centres of the mass of the discs are each 2.5mm from the axis of rotation.  The radii to the centres of mass are at right angles.  The shaft is carried in bearings C and D between A and B such that AC = 0.3m, AD = 0.9m and AB = 1.2m.

Question

A shaft turning at a uniform speed carries two uniform discs A and B of masses 10kg and 8kg respectively.  The centres of the mass of the discs are each 2.5mm from the axis of rotation.  The radii to the centres of mass are at right angles.  The shaft is carried in bearings C and D between A and B such that AC = 0.3m, AD = 0.9m and AB = 1.2m.

It is required to make dynamic loading on the bearings equal and a minimum for any given shaft speed by adding a mass at a radius 25mm in a plane E.

Determine:

  • The magnitude of the mass in plane E and its angular position relative to the mass in plane A
  • The distance of the plane E from plane A

PS – Use graphical methods to solve the balancing problem
