A vertical steam engine has a stroke of 225 mm and a cylinder diameter of 85 mm. The piston rod diameter is 50 mm, and the length of the connecting rod is 1200 mm. The reciprocating parts have a mass of 100 kg. When the crank has rotated through 60° from the top dead centre, the steam pressure on the head of the piston is 560 kPa and on the piston-rod side is 160 kPa. If the crank rotates at 240 rev/min, determine the: 2.1. Torque on the crankshaft. 2.2. Force on the crankpin. 2.3. Thrust in the connecting rod.

A vertical steam engine has a stroke of 225 mm and a cylinder diameter of 85 mm.
The piston rod diameter is 50 mm, and the length of the connecting rod is 1200 mm.
The reciprocating parts have a mass of 100 kg. When the crank has rotated through
60° from the top dead centre, the steam pressure on the head of the piston is 560 kPa
and on the piston-rod side is 160 kPa. If the crank rotates at 240 rev/min, determine
the:
2.1. Torque on the crankshaft.
2.2. Force on the crankpin.
2.3. Thrust in the connecting rod.
2.4. Thrust on the cross-head guide.
2.5. Radial force in the crankshaft.
2.6. Angular velocity of the connecting rod.
2.7. Angular acceleration of the connecting rod.
