LONG QUESTION FOR 10 MARKS
1. Four masses m1,m2 ,m3 & m4 are 200 kg ,300 kg ,240 kg &260 kg respectively. The corresponding radii of rotation are 200 mm , 150 mm ,250 mm ,& 300 mm respectively and the angles between successive masses are 45 degree ,75 degree & 135 degree .Find the position and magnitude of the balance mass required by graphical method , if its radius of rotation is 200 mm.
