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
applied at C and a couple
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
and
(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?
