You are using a load cell to measure the applied load to a test in the Civil Engineering Structures Lab. What should you do if the measured load does not return to zero? How should youtroubleshoot this to determine if this is a load cell or a mechanical problem?

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
