A prop shaft of a heavy-duty truck has two bearings which are positioned at 3 metres from each other. The shaft must rotate at 30 rad/s when the truck travels at the speed of 40 m/s. Such a shaft carries two masses of (MA = 10 kg) and (MB = 5 kg) acting at the extremities of the arms 0.45 m and 0.6 m long,respectively. The planes in which these masses rotate are 1.2 m and 2.4 mrespectively, from the left end bearing supporting the shaft. The angle between the arms is 60°. If the masses are balanced by two counter-masses (named X and Y) rotating with the shaft acting at a radius of 0.3 m and placed at 0.3 m from each bearing centre: 1.Determine the magnitude of the Y balance mass using a vector diagram. 2 Determine the magnitude of the X balance mass using a vector diagra
