2) A four wheeled motor car of mass 2 tones has height of C.G of 60 cmm above ground
level. The engine parts and transmission are equivalent to flywheel of 80 kg with
radius of gyration of 15 cm and their axes coincide with axis of wheel. The car
negotiates acurve of 60cm radius at 72 km/hr with over all gear ratio 4:1. The radius
of road wheel is 30 cm and its 14.115 3 kg cm2. Assuming wheel track as 1.5 m, weight

distribution as 50:50, determine the reaction at each wheel. (7)

VIII. A Shaft carries 5 masses, m1,m2,m3,m4 and m5 which revolve at same radius in planes
which are equal distant from one another. The magnitude of masses in plane, 1,3 ,4 are 50kg, 40
kg and 30 kg respectively. The position of masses 3 and 4 with respect to m1 are 600 and 1200
respectively. Determine the weight 2 and 5 and position with respect to plane in order to put the
shaft in complete rotary balance
