Equivalent shaft system of Geared system
The equivalent should satisfy the following two conditions:
1. Kinetic energy ()in both actual system and equivalent system must
be same.
2. Potential/ strain energy ()in both actual system and equivalent
system must be same.

A single cylinder oil engine drives directly a centrifugal pump. The
rotating mass of the engine , flywheel and pump with the shaft is
equivalent to the three rotor system as shown in Fig. The mass M.I
of the rotors A,B and C are 0.15, 0.3, 0.09 kg.sq.m. Find the natural
frequency of the torsional vibration. The modulus of rigidity of the
shaft material is 84 kN/sq.m.
