Three bodies are fixed on a shaft rotating at 500 rpm. The mass of the bodies are 3.5 kg, 2.5 kg and 2 kg. The radii of rotation can be taken as 60 cm, 40 cm and 25 cm. If a balancing body of 1.5 kg is to be placed, then find the unbalance in the system. The first body can be assumed to be at 45° from positive x axis, second body is at 90° from first body and third body is at 180° from positive x-axis. All the angles are measured in anti-clockwise direction.

Three bodies are fixed on a
shaft rotating at 500 rpm. The
mass of the bodies are 3.5 kg,
2.5 kg and 2 kg. The radii of
rotation can be taken as 60
cm, 40 cm and 25 cm. If a
balancing body of 1.5 kg is to
be placed, then find the
unbalance in the system. The
first body can be assumed to
be at 45° from positive x axis,
second body is at 90° from
first body and third body is at
180° from positive x-axis. All
the angles are measured in
anti-clockwise direction.
