Consider a 2-cylinder inline reciprocating internal combustion engine (RICE) with a cross-plane crankshaft, as shown in Figure Q2. Cylinder 2 fires 270° after cylinder 1. The spacing between the two connecting rods is l, the reciprocating mass of each cylinder is R, and the radius of each mass is r. Examine the engine for primary- and secondary force and moment balance.
