(B) A steel wire with E = 1.96 x 1011 N/m2 is of 2 mm diameter and is 30 mm 5
long. It is fixed at the upper end and carries a mass M kg at its lower end. Find
mass M so that frequency of longitudinal vibrations is 4 cycle.

(B) A shaft is supported in bearings 1.8 m apart and projects 0.45 m beyond 5
bearings at each end. The shaft carries three pulleys one at each end and one at
the middle of its length. The mass of end pulleys is 48 kg and 20 kg and their
centre of gravity are 15 mm and 12.5 mm respectively from the shaft axis. The
centre pulley has a mass of 56 kg and its centre of gravity is 15 mm from the
shaft axis. If the pulleys are arranged so as to give static balance.

and D respectively. The planes B, C and D are at distances 350 mm, 500 mm
and 800 mm from plane A. The masses in planes B, C and D are at an angle
105o , 200o and 300o measured anticlockwise from mass in plane A. It is
required to balance the system by placing the balancing masses in the planes P
and Q which are midway between the planes A and B, and between C and D
respectively. If the balancing masses revolve at radius 180 mm, find the
