(b) Explain effect of gyroscopic couple on Ship during Pitching. 04

(c) A shaft carries four masses A, B, C and D of magnitude 200 kg, 300 kg, 07
400 kg and 200 kg respectively and revolving at radii 80 mm, 70 mm, 60
mm and 80 mm in planes measured from A at 300 mm, 400 mm and 700
mm. The angles between the cranks measured anticlockwise are A to B
45°, B to C 70° and C to D 120°. The balancing masses are to be placed
in planes X and Y. The distance between the planes A and X is 100 mm,
