A shaft carries five masses A, B, C, D and E which revolve at the same radius in planes which are equidistant from one another. The magnitude of masses in plane A, C and D are 50kg, 40kg and 80kg respectively. The angle between A and C is 90° and that between C and D is 135°. Determine the magnitude of masses in planes B and E and their positions to put the shaft in complete rotating balance.

A five cylinder in-line engine running at 750rpm has successive cranks 144° apart, the distance between cylinder centre-lines being 375mm. The piston stroke is 225mm and the ratio of connecting rod to the crank is 4. Estimate the engine for balance of primary and secondary forces and couples. Find the maximum values of these and positions of central crank at which these maximum values occur. The reciprocating mass for each cylinder is 15kg.
