Balancing of rotating masses
Balancing of rotating masses is like balancing a toy car on a seesaw. Imagine you have a toy car that is too heavy on one side and too light on the other. When you put it on the seesaw, it will tip over and not stay balanced.
Similarly, when something rotates, like a wheel or an engine, it needs to be balanced so it doesn't wobble or cause problems. If a rotating mass is unbalanced, it can cause vibrations, noise, and even damage to the machine it's part of.
To balance a rotating mass, we use special tools and techniques to make sure the weight is distributed evenly. We might add or remove weights from different parts of the mass to get it balanced just right.
Once the mass is balanced, it spins smoothly and doesn't cause any problems. So, balancing a rotating mass is like making sure your toy car stays balanced on the seesaw – it helps it work properly and safely.
