A locomotive consists of multi cylinder reciprocating engine running at a speed of 4 r.p.s having a stroke length of 27cm, which carries a mass of reciprocating part whose magnitude is 14kgs with a revolving part of 5kgs rotating at 16cm radius. If two third of the reciprocating parts and all the revolving parts are to be balanced, determine the following when the crank has rotated 520 from top dead centre to bottom dead centre. 1. Maximum primary unbalanced force of reciprocating mass in newtons ) 2. Balancing mass required at a radius of 44cm in kgs 3. Variation of maximum & minimum tractive force in newtons 4. Variation of maximum & minimum swaying couple for the given centre distance 74cm between the two cylinders in (N-m) 5. Magnitude of Hammer blow in newtons
