A four-cylinder vertical engine has cranks 102 mm long. The planes of rotation of the first, second and fourth cranks are 356 mm, 250 mm and 200 mm respectively from the third crank and their reciprocating masses are 40 kg, 50 kg and 55 kg, respectively. Find the mass of the reciprocating parts for the third cylinder and the relative angular position of the cranks in order that the engine is in complete primary balance.

A four-cylinder vertical engine has cranks 102 mm long. The planes of rotation of
the first, second and fourth cranks are 356 mm, 250 mm and 200 mm
respectively from the third crank and their reciprocating masses are 40 kg, 50 kg and 55
kg, respectively. Find the mass of the reciprocating parts for the third cylinder and the
relative angular position of the cranks in order that the engine is in complete primary
balance.
