Please find attached. Note that as posted you have not supplied all the information provided to answer question 5 without ambiguity. I therefore did a Google search and found the exact same set of questions, however, there were 2 similar format questions pertaining to Q5, one if f goes to large values and one for f going to zero. As you can see I have provided both answers based on either option but you need to use the answer dependent on what you actual question says and the missing part of the information that you can see but I cannot see. Note also that Q1 is not explicit as it just refers to imbalance so I am assuming this is question is referring to an imbalanced shaft due to parallel misalignment
