[3 marks] (b) Figure 4 shows a system with three weights on a rotating shaft. W; « 40 N @ 90° at a 101.6 mm radius, W2 = 40 N @ 225° at a 152.4 mm radius, and W3 = 26.7 N @ 315° at a 254 mm radius, Determine the magnitudes and angles of the balance weights needed to dynamically balance the system. The balance weights in planes 4 and 5 are placed at a 76.2 mm radius.

The work done during the expansion stroke is three times the work done during the compression stroke. The work done during the exhaust strokes is negligible. If the total fluctuation of speed does not exceed + 2% of the mean speed, and the tuming moment diagram during compression and expansion is assumed to be triangular in shape, find the moment of inertia of the flywheel [22 marks} -END OF QUESTION PAPER- Page 4 of 6Appendix -1 Static Balancing mpR og =a —MaRag mgRyy =—™ Ry —mRay flenkn)? +n Ros R, e= ws oe Be } my Ra Dynamic Balancing mR =m Ry Maan ~MgR bs Ly mPa pling = ERiats Rag malay Ts mR, mR Ma Bay MR Mpa Mm Ray =~ Ry ~MRyy ~MRyy ~My Turning moment diagram and flywheel a Work done perevele Ce Pp Workdone per cycle Fay XB M=N2 oe AE = 1a*Cy Page 5 of 6 ‘MEMB263, Semester 2 2013/2014‘MEMB263, Semester 2 2013/2014 Name Hap: | Section: (1/2/3/4) Appendix ~2 Page 6 of 6
