A twin cylinder V-engine has cylinder centre lines at
an angle of 90 and the connecting rods drives on to a single crank. Stroke is 12
cm and the length of the connecting rods is 24 cm . Crank pin and crank webs
are equivalent to 1.2 kg at crank radius and piston mass is 1.0 kg . The mass of
each connecting rod is 1.5 kg and the centre of gravity is 8 cm from the crank
pin centre. Show that the effect of the revolving mass and the balance effect of
the reciprocating mass may be balanced by a revolving balance mass. Also, find
its magnitude and position if the distance of the centre of gravity from the crank
shaft centre line is 8 cm . Finally, find the nature and magnitude of the resultant
secondary force when the crankshaft rotates at 1600 r.p.m.
