Aload of 10kn is to be suddenly applied to the free end of a vertical rod of length 500 mm, the upper end being rigidly fixed. 190 mechanical science what should the diameter of the rod be if the maximum stress in the rod is not to exceed 100 mpa? the tensile modulus of the rod is 205 gpa.

Afour cylinder four-stroke in-line engine has a stroke of 160mm, connecting rod length of 150mm, a reciprocating mass of 3kg and its firing order is 1-3-4-2. the spacing between cylinders is 100mm. i. show that the engine is in balance with regard to the primary inertia forces and primary 3. a and secondary inertia couples. li determine the out of balance secondary inertia force ii. propose ways of balancing this out of balance force and discuss the challenges that will arise
