Show that the distance from the top of the cylinder to the piston surface in a conventional engine is given by: R² 4L x=r(1-cos)+(1-cos 20) where is the crankshaft angle, R is the length between the main bearing and the big end bearing and L is the distance between the centres of the connecting rod. Comment upon the accuracy of the equation stated in part (a). Discuss how the piston motion can be employed to determine the slider crank piston force.

A hydraulic press is composed of two cylindrical reservoirs of R1 and R2 rays.The plungers in this press are extremely light and can move virtually frictionless and perfectly adjusted to their respective cylinders. The fluid that fills the press reservoirs is low density and can be considered incompressible. When in balance, the F2 force supported by the larger plunger is 100 times higher than the F1 force supported by the smaller one. Thus, the R2 / R1 ratio between the rays of the emboli, is worth approximately:a) 100b) 50c) 10d) 1000e) 200
