The connecting rod of a horizontal reciprocating engine is 400 mm and length of the stroke is 200mm. The mass of the reciprocating parts is 125 kg and that the connecting rod is 100 kg. The radius of gyration of the connecting rod about an axis through the centre of gravity is 120 mm and the distance of centre of gravity of the connecting rod from big end centre is 160 mm. The engine runs at750 r.p.m. Determine graphically the torque exerted on the crankshaft when the crank has turned 30° from the inner dead centre
