Problem 9.46
One of the propellers on the Beech King Air 200 is unbalanced, such that the unbalanced weight
Wu
is a distance
R
from the spin axis of the propeller. The propellers spin at a constant rate
!p
, and the
weight of each engine is
We
(this includes the mass of the propeller). Assume that the wing is a uniform
beam that is cantilevered at
A
, has weight
Ww
and bending stiffness
EI
, and whose mass center is at
G
. Treat the engine as a point mass and evaluate your answers for
WuD3oz

WeD450 lb
,
RD5:1 ft
,
!pD2000 rpm
,
EI D1:13 1011 lbin:2
,
dD8:7 ft
, and
hD10:9 ft
. In addition, ignore the angular
motion of the wing in computing the angular velocity and angular acceleration of the propeller, and ignore
the time-dependent inertia term in the final equation of motion.
Neglect the mass of the wing, and model the wing as was done in Example 9.2. Determine the
resonance frequency of the system, and find the MF for the given parameters.
