A rotating shaft carries four unbalanced masses 20 kg, Ikg,I8kg and 12 kg at radii
Sem,Sem,Gem and Tem respectively. The 2, 3" and 4" masses revolve in planes
Vem, 15em and 18 cm respectively measured from the plane of the first mass and are
angularly located at 70:,120° and 270° respectively measured anticlockwise from the
first mass looking from this mass end of the shaft. The shaft is dynamically balanced
by two masses, both located at 6cm radii and revolving in planes midway between
those of 1" and 2™ masses and midway between those of 3% and 4'" masses.
