A shaft carries three masses A,B and C. Planes B and C are 60cm and 120cm from A. A, B and C are 50kg, 40kg and 60kg respectively at a radius of 2.5cm each. The angular position of mass B and mass C with A are 90° and 210° respectively. Find the unbalanced force and couple(Use A as reference plane). Also find the position and magnitude of balancing masses required at 10cm radius in planes L and M midway between A and B, and B and C(Use L as reference plane).
