Choose the correct answer from a, b, or c

1- The balancing of rotating and reciprocating parts of an engine is not necessary when it runs at
(a) Very Slow speed (b) Medium speed (c) Very high speed
2- A disturbing mass m1 attached to a rotating shaft may be unbalanced by a single mass m 2 attached in
the same plane of rotation as that of m1 such that
(a) m1.r2 = m2.r1 (b) m1.r1 = m2.r2 (c) m 1. m2 = r1.r2
3- For dynamic balancing of a shaft,
(a) The net dynamic force acting on the shaft is equal to zero
(b) The net couple due to the dynamic forces acting on the shaft is equal to zero
(c) Both (a) and (b)
(d) None of the above
4- In order to have a complete connection between rotating and reciprocating of the several revolving
masses in different planes
(a) The resultant force must be zero
(b) The resultant couple must be zero
(c) Both the resultant force and couple must be zero
(d) None of the above
Explain with free hand sketch as possible for the following:

1. Why is balancing of rotating parts necessary for high speed engines.
2. Explain clearly the terms ‘static balancing’ and ‘dynamic balancing’. State the necessary conditions
to achieve them.
3. Discuss how a single revolving mass is balanced by two masses revolving in different planes.
4. Explain the method of balancing of different masses revolving in the same plane.
5. How the different masses rotating in different planes are balanced
Problems
1- Four masses A, B, C and D are attached to a shaft and revolve in the same plane. The
masses are 12kg, 10 kg, 18 kg and 15 kg respectively and their radii of rotations are 40
mm, 50 mm, 60 mm and 30 mm. The angular position of the masses B, C and D are 60°,
135° and 270° from the mass A. Find the magnitude and position of the balancing mass at
a radius of 100 mm.
2- A rotating shaft carries four unbalanced masses 18 kg, 14 kg, 16 kg and 12 kg at radii 50
mm, 60 mm, 70 mm and 60 mm respectively. The 2nd, 3rd and 4th masses revolve in
planes 80 mm, 160 mm and 280 mm respectively measured from the plane of the first
mass and are angularly located at 60°, 135° and 270° respectively measured clockwise
from the first mass looking from this mass end of the shaft. The shaft is dynamically
balanced by two masses, both located at 50 mm radii and revolving in planes mid-way
between those of 1st and 2nd masses and midway between those of 3rd and 4th masses.
Determine, graphically or otherwise, the magnitudes of the masses and their respective
angular positions
3- A shaft carries five masses A, B, C, D and E which revolve at the same radius in planes
which are equidistant from one another. The magnitude of the masses in planes A, C and
D are 50 kg, 40 kg and 80 kg respectively. The angle between A and C is 90° and that
between C and D is 135°. Determine the magnitude of the masses in planes B and E and
their positions to put the shaft in complete rotating balance.
4- A shaft carries four masses A, B, C and D of magnitude 200 kg, 300 kg, 400 kg and 200
kg respectively and revolving at radii 80 mm, 70 mm, 60 mm and 80 mm in planes
measured from A at 300 mm, 400 mm and 700 mm. The angles between the cranks
measured anticlockwise are A to B 45°, B to C 70° and C to D 120°. The balancing
masses are to be placed in planes X and Y. The distance between the planes A and X is
100 mm, between X and Y is 400 mm and between Y and D is 200 mm. If the balancing
masses revolve at a radius of 100 mm, find their magnitudes and angular positions.
5- A, B, C and D are four masses carried by a rotating shaft at radii 100, 125, 200 and 150
mm respectively. The planes in which the masses revolve are spaced 600 mm apart and
the mass of B, C and D are 10 kg, 5 kg, and 4 kg respectively. Find the required mass A
and the relative angular settings of the four masses so that the shaft shall be in complete
balance.
6- Four masses A, B, C and D as shown below are to be completely balanced.
The planes containing masses B and C are 300 mm apart. The angle between planes
containing B and C is 90°. B and C make angles of 210° and 120° respectively with D in
the same sense. Find: 1. The magnitude and the angular position of mass A; and
2. The position of planes A and D.
