Question: 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.

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 the masses in planes A, C and D are 50 kg, 40 kg
and 80 kg respectively. The angle between A and C is 90° and that between C and D is 135°. Determine the magnitude of the masses in planes B and E and their positions to put the shaft in
complete rotating balance.
