PROBLEM 18.70
When the 18-kg wheel shown is attached to a balancing machine and
made to spin at a rate of 12.5 rev/s, it is found that the forces exerted by
the wheel on the machine are equivalent to a force-couple system
consisting of a force (160 N)
Fj applied at C and a couple
(14.7 N m) ,
CMk
where the unit vectors form a triad which rotates
with the wheel. (a) Determine the distance from the axis of rotation to the
mass center of the wheel and the products of inertia
y
I and .
zx
I (b) If
only two corrective masses are to be used to balance the wheel statically
and dynamically, what should these masses be and at which of the Points
A, B, D, or E should they be placed?
