The piston in an engine is attached to a connecting rod AB, which in turn is connected to a crank arm BC (see figure). The piston slides without friction in a cylinder and is subjected to a force P (assumed to be constant) while moving to the right in the Figure. The connecting rod. with diameter d and length L, is attached at both ends by pins. The crank arm rotates about the axle at C with the pin at B moving in a circle of radius R. The axle at C, which is supported by bearings, exerts a resisting moment M against the crank arm. (a) Obtain a formula for the maximum permissible force Pallow. based upon an allowable compressive stress acin the connecting rod. (b) Calculate the Force Pallowfor the following data:
