A circular plate is being supported by 7 outer springs and a central spring. The outer springs are equally placed around a bolt circle. Take note that the outer springs are 2 mm shorter than the central spring. Further, a 5000- Newton force is applied at the center of the plate pushing the springs down.
The mechanism shown consists of a crank (bar AB), a connecting rod (bar BC) and the piston C that slides on the smooth surface (without friction). The combustion of gasoline produces a force P on the piston and this is kept in equilibrium with the moment M applied in A. The length of the crank is 116 mm, the length of the connecting rod is 183 mm, the force P is 710 N and the angle theta is 0.56 radians. Determine the value of M in Nm.
