Answer all the questions
______________________________________________________________________________
1. (a) What are the conditions for a body to be in equilibrium under the action of two forces, three forces
and two forces and a torque?
(b) Determine the required input torque on the crank of a slider-crank mechanism for the static
equilibrium when the applied piston load is 1500N. The lengths of the crank and the connecting road are
40 mm and 100 mm respectively, and the crank has turned through 450 from the inner-dead centre.
2. An external torque of 100 N-m is acting on the crank EF of the mechanism shown in the figure in
CCW direction. Calculate the magnitude and direction of the external torque required on crank AB to
keep the system in static equilibrium.

3. A horizontal steam engine running at 180 rpm has a bore of 320 mm and stroke 560 mm. The
connecting rod is 1 m long, and the mass of the reciprocating parts is 50 kg. When the crank is 500 past
the inner dead centre, the steam pressure on the cover side of the piston is 1.2 MPa , while that on the
crank side is 0.15 MPa. Neglecting the area of the piston rod, determine (a) the force on the piston, and
(b) the turning moment on the crankshaft.
4. The mass of reciprocating parts in a horizontal reciprocating engine is 120 kg. The crank length is 90
mm and engine speed is 600 rpm. Length and mass of the connecting rod is 450 mm and 90 kg,
respectively. The radius of gyration of connecting rod about its centre of gravity is 150 mm. The distance
of centre of gravity from small end is 180 mm. Find the magnitude and sense of inertia torque on the
crank shaft when the crank has turned 30o from the inner-dead centre.
5. The length of connecting rod of an engine is 500 mm (centre to centre) and its mass is 20 kg. The
distance of centre of gravity is 125 mm from crank pin centre and crank radius is 100 mm. The radius of
the small end pin is 30 mm. The frequency of oscillations of the rod when suspended from the small end
is 45 cycles per minute. Determine dynamically equivalent system keeping one mass at the small end.
