6 A rotating shaft carries four unbalanced masses 20 kg,11kg,18kg and 12 kg at radii (10)
8cm,5cm,6cm and 7cm respectively. The 2nd, 3rd and 4th masses revolve in planes
10cm,15cm and 18 cm respectively measured from the plane of the first mass and are
angularly located at 70ᵒ,120ᵒ and 270ᵒ 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 1st and 2nd masses and midway between those of 3rd and 4th masses.

an arm of length 50cm. The other end of the arm is free to rotate in a universal
bearing. If the disc rotates about the arm with a speed of 400rpm anticlockwise
looking from the front, with what speed will it precess about the vertical axis?

exciting force of 35N acts on the part and causes a resonant amplitude of 16mm with
a period of 0.25 seconds. Find the damping coefficient. If the frequency of the
exciting force is changed to 8 Hz, determine the increase in the amplitude of the
forced vibrations upon the removal of the damper.
