As: Balacig is the process of removig either partially or completely, the effect due to resultat iertia forces ad couples (ubalace) actig o machie parts. ) Explai the eed of balacig i high speed egie? As: The static forces (force actig o statioary mass) as compare to dyamic forces (Cetrifugal forces ad Iertia forces) are very high. Fc=m r w Therefore for small icrease i agular velocity w There is large icrease i Force Fc. This force is havig tedecy to lift machie from foudatio. It is realised that o foudatio will ormally be able to withstad force of such high magitude. Hece to avoid upleasat effects, precise balacig is essetial. 3) Explai the static ad dyamic balacig. As: Static Balacig- A system of rotatig masses is said to be i static balace if combied mass cetre of system i,e C.G. lies o axes of rotatio. For the system to be statically balaced, the resultat of all dyamic forces actig o system durig rotatio must be zero. This is sufficiet coditio for balacig, if sigle or several masses are actig i same plae. Durig rotatio axis passig through C.G. of mass is parallel to axis of rotatio. Dyamic Balacig-. For the system to be dyamically balaced the resultat of all dyamic forces actig o system durig rotatio must be zero ad resultat couples due to all dyamic forces actig o system must be equal to zero This is sufficiet coditio for balacig, if several masses are actig i differet plae. Durig rotatio axis passig through C.G. of mass is ot parallel to axis of rotatio. 4) Explai balacig of sigle mass rotatig i sigle plae. As: There is formatio of oly ubalaced force, ot couple.

So balacig is doe by addig balacig mass mb at radius rb i same plae of rotatio. 7) Explai balacig of several masses rotatig i differet plaes. As: There is formatio of ubalaced forces as well as couples. So balacig is doe by either addig two balacig masses i two differet plaes or balacig is doe by adjustig agular positios. ( Ubalaced Forces) = 0 m r + mb rb + mb rb = 0 ( Ubalaced Couples) = 0 m r l +mb rb lb + mb rb lb = 0 8) What do you uderstad by primary ad secodary balacig of reciprocatig masses? As: I reciprocatig masses ubalace is due to Iertia force ad is give by, FI = m r w [ cosθ + cosθ ] = m r w cosθ + m r w cosθ = FP + FS FP = m r w cosθ This compoet of FI is called as Primary ubalaced force FP ad FS = m r w cosθ This compoet of FI is called as Secodary ubalaced force Fs. 9) Explai partial balacig of reciprocatig egie.

If Horizotal compoet is balaced vertical compoet remais ubalaced ad if vertical compoet is balaced, horizotal compoet remais ubalaced. So it becomes ecessary to balace reciprocatig egie partially. 0) What is equatio for ubalace force due to reciprocatig mass? I reciprocatig egie ubalaced force is Iertia force FI = m r w [ cosθ + cosθ ] ) Give equatio for primary ad secodary ubalace forces. FP = m r w cosθ Primary ubalaced force FS = m r w cosθ Secodary ubalaced force ) What is mea by primary crak ad secodary crak method?
