Four rotating masses A, B, C and D rotating in four different parallel planes are completely balanced. Angular position of masses C and D are 90° and 195° respectively from B in anticlockwise direction looking from right hand side. The rotating masses and their radius of mass centres are given below :
mb = 25 kg mc = 40 kg md = 35 kg
rb = 150 mm, rc = 100 mm, rd = 180 mm
Planes B and C are 250mm apart and mass centre radius for mass A is 150 mm. Determine using graphical method:
(i) the mass of A and its angular position with respect to B, and
(ii) Position of planes A and D with respect to plane B.
