A five-cylinder in-line with successive cranks spaced 144 degrees apart and cylinder centre lines 400 mm apart operates at 900 revolutions per minute. The connecting rod to crank ratio is 6 and the piston stroke is 230 mm. The reciprocating mass of each cylinder is 20 kg. Examine the engine for the balance of primary and secondary forces and couples. Use the graphical method to determine the out-of-balance primary and secondary forces and couples on this engine.
