  2. Ship motions - Wikipedia

    The turning rotation of a vessel about its vertical/Z axis. An offset or deviation from normal on this axis is referred to as deviation or set. This is referred to as the heading of the boat relative to a magnetic compass (or true heading if referenced to the true north pole); it also affects the bearing.

  3. Balancing of rotating masses - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balancing_of_rotating_masses

    These four readings are sufficient to define the size and position of a final mass to achieve good balance. Ref 4 For production balancing, the phase of dynamic vibration is observed with its amplitude. This allows one-shot dynamic balance to be achieved with a single spin, by adding a mass of internally calculated size in a calculated position.

  5. Limits of stability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limits_of_stability

    In simpler terms, LoS represents the maximum distance an individual can intentionally sway in any direction without losing balance or needing to take a step. [2] The typical range of stable swaying is approximately 12.5° in the front-back (antero-posterior) direction and 16° in the side-to-side (medio-lateral) direction. [3]

  6. Engine balance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_balance

    Excessive hammer blow from high slipping speeds was a cause of kinked rails with new North American 4–6–4s and 4–8–4s that followed the 1934 A.A.R. recommendation to balance 40% of the reciprocating weight. [8] Out-of-balance inertia forces in the wheel can cause different vertical oscillations depending on the track stiffness.

  7. Counterweight - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counterweight

    A simple crane. A counterweight is a weight that, by applying an opposite force, provides balance and stability of a mechanical system. [1] The purpose of a counterweight is to make lifting the load faster and more efficient, which saves energy and causes less wear and tear on the lifting machine.

  8. Roberval balance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roberval_Balance

    A Roberval balance made by W & T Avery Ltd. in England Detail: the bottom horizontal beam is hidden under the protective cover A Roberval balance shown responding to two masses of equal weight. The Roberval balance is a weighing scale presented to the French Academy of Sciences by the French mathematician Gilles Personne de Roberval in 1669.

  9. Triple beam balance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triple_beam_balance

    When using the triple beam balance, it is recommended that one start with the lowest level of precision (e.g 100 gram increments). For example, if an object weighs 327 grams, the 100 gram pointer will drop below the fixed mark on the 4th notch (400g); it will then need to be moved back to the third notch (300g).
