Unbalanced Mass

[Cmfg]

I am trying to calculate the vibration induced by a water pump that works at 600 rmp. How can I estimate the unbalanced mass?

I know Pete, the practical side is better, with an analyzer we do not have know al this stuff to get the thing balanced, just punch in the right keys and it will balance. But without these discussions, where is the fun in engineering?

That will be bring us to the level of followers of what a machine dictates.

Was it homework?
