Extracted text: A rotating shaft carries four masses A, B, C and D which are radially attached to it. The mass centres are 30 mm, 38 mm, 40 mm and 35 mm respectively from the axis of rotation. The masses A, C and D are 8 kg, 6 kg and 5 kg respectively. The axial distances between the planes of rotation of A and B is 400 mm and between B and C is 500 mm. The masses A and C are at right anales to each other and mass A is positioned at 0°. 2.3. If the mass are balance calculate the axial distance between the planes of rotation of C and D. 2.3. Calculate the magnitude of mass B.
