Dynamic Balance

</dt>
The condition which exists in a rotating body when the axis about which it is forced to rotate, or to which reference is made, is parallel with a principal axis of inertia. No products of inertia about the center of gravity of the body exist in relation to the selected rotational axis. </dd>
Dynamic unbalance may be expressed in terms of slug-foot squared (or equivalent weight * length squared units) or in terms of inclination of the principal axis from the reference axis. [[/a>|/a> ]]
