any mechanical engineers in?

[eddyrik123]

Hi fellas, Im currently doing a hnc in mech engineering and iv got an assignment due in on thursday, I have a question about rotating masses which has me stumped, searched for a solution but i cant find the correct method, if there are many mech engineers as members who wouldnt mind giving me some advice I would be most greatful, im not looking for the problem to be done for me just a nudge in the right direction, if u can help could u either reply to this thread or maybe drop me a pm
Much appreciated

I'm not a Mechanical Engineer, but do have some interest in things like this. I assume you are looking for answers about balancing rotating masses (along the lines of the workings of a cam shaft) if that is what you are after then have a look at these ::
