- A motor, turning at 1800 rpm, in a machine is slightly out of balance. It causes the machine to vibrate vertically. In order to measure the amplitude of the machine vibration a device consisting of a mass is attached to a cantilever beam as shown. The device has a scale so that the amplitude of the vibration of the mass, 8, can be measured. If 8 = 3.2 mm what is z the amplitude of the machine vibration.
