1. A shaft is rotating at a uniform angular

speed. Masses m1, m2, m3 and m4 of
magnitudes 300kg, 450kg, 360kg and 390kg
are rigidly attached to a shaft. The masses
are rotating in the same plane. The
corresponding radii of rotation are 200mm,
150mm, 250mm and 300mm respectively.
The angles made by these masses with
horizontal are 0o, 45o, 120o and 225o. Find
the magnitudes and directions of balancing
mass if its radius of rotation is 200mm.

2. A shaft carries four masses A, B, C, and

D of magnitudes 200kg, 300kg, 400kg and
200kg respectively and revolving at radii
80mm, 70mm, 60mm and 80mm in planes
measured from A at 300mm, 400mm and
700mm and to the right of A. The angles
between the cranks measured anticlockwise
are A to B 45o, B to C 70o and C to D 120o.
The balancing masses are to be placed in
planes X and Y. The distance between the
plane A and X is 100mm, between X and Y is
400mm and between Y and D is 200mm. If
the balancing masses revolve at a radius of
100mm, find their magnitudes and angular
positions.

3. A rotating shaft carries four radial

masses A= 8kg, B & C= 6kg, and D= 5kg.
The mass centers are 30mm, 40mm, 40mm
and 50mm respectively from the axis of the
shaft. The axial distance between the planes
of rotation of A and B is 400mm and between
B and C is 500mm. The masses A and C are
at right angles to each other. Find for a
complete balance, (a) the angle between the
masses B and D from mass A, (b) the axial
distance between the planes of rotation of C
and D, and (c) the magnitude of mass B.

4. A single cylinder horizontal engine runs

at 120rpm with a stroke of 400mm. The
mass of the revolving parts assumed
concentrated at the crank pin is 100kg and
mass of the reciprocating parts is 150kg.
Determine the magnitude of the balancing
mass to be placed opposite to the crank at a
radius of 150mm which is equivalent to all
the revolving and 2/3rd of the reciprocating
parts. If the crank turns 30o from the inner
dead centre, find the magnitude of the
unbalanced force due to the balancing mass.

5. A four cylinder engine has the two outer

cranks at 120o to each other and their
reciprocating masses are each 400kg. The
distance between the planes of rotation of
adjacent cranks are 400mm, 700mm,
700mm and 500mm. Find the reciprocating
mass and the relative angular position for
each of the inner cranks, if the engine is to
be in complete primary balance. Also find the
maximum unbalanced secondary force, if the
length of each crank is 350mm, the length of
each connecting rod 1.7m and the engine
speed 500rpm.

6. The pistons of a 60o twin V-engine has

strokes of 120mm. The connecting rod
 driving a common crack has a length of
200mm. The mass of the reciprocating parts
per cylinder is 1kg and the speed of the
crank shaft is 2500rpm. Determine the
magnitude of the primary and secondary
forces.
