A, B, C and D are four masses carried by a rotating shaft at radii 100 mm, 156 mm, 152 mm and 200 mm respectively. The planes in which the masses rotate are spaced at 500 mm apart. The magnitude of the masses B, C and D are 9 kg, 5 kg and 4 kg respectively. Find the required mass A and the relative angular settings of the four masses so that the shaft shall be in complete balance.

Question

A, B, C and D are four masses carried by a rotating shaft at radii 100 mm, 156
mm, 152 mm and 200 mm respectively. The planes in which the masses rotate
are spaced at 500 mm apart. The magnitude of the masses B, C and D are 9 kg, 5 kg and
4 kg respectively. Find the required mass A and the relative angular settings of the four
masses so that the shaft shall be in complete balance.
