Balancing Techniques: Static & Dynamic

The document is a tutorial containing questions on static and dynamic balancing, as well as balancing linkages. It includes a specific problem involving a shaft with four masses and their respective dimensions and angles, requiring the calculation of balancing masses and their positions. Additionally, it discusses a four-bar linkage design problem that involves counterweights for balance.

Question 3
 Dynamic Balancing
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.

Question 4
 Balancing Linkages
Figure Q4 shows a four-bar linkage and its dimensions in meters. The steel crank and rocker have uniform
cross sections of 50 mm wide by 25 mm thick. The aluminium coupler is 25 mm thick. The crank O 2A rotates
at a constant speed of ω = 40 rad/sec. Design counterweights to force balance the linkage.
