Balancing
15.1 Determine the bearing reactions at A and B if the speed of the shaft is 300 rev/min. Also
determine the magnitude and orientation of the balancing mass if it is located at a radius
of 50 mm.
Since all rotating masses are in a single plane, the correction mass must be in that plane.

15.3 Two weights are connected to a rotating shaft and mounted outboard of bearings A and B.
If the speed of the shaft is 120 rev/min, what are the magnitudes and orientations of the
bearing reactions at A and B? Suppose the system is to be balanced by removing weight
at a radius of 5 in. Determine the magnitude and orientation of the weight to be removed.
15.5 Determine the bearing reactions at A and B and their orientations if the shaft speed is 100
rev/min.
15.9 The shaft illustrated in Figure P15.7 is to be balanced by removing masses in the two
correction planes L and R. The three masses are m1 6 g, m2 7 g, and m3 5 g . The
dimensions are a 25 mm, b 300 mm, c 600 mm, d 150 mm, e 75 mm,
R1 125 mm, R2 150 mm, and R3 100 mm. Calculate the magnitudes and
orientations of the correction masses.
15.10 Repeat Problem 15.9 if masses are to be added in the two correction planes.
