Question 1 An inside cylinder locomotive has its cylinder centre lines 1 m apart and has a stroke of 1 m. The rotating masses per cylinder are equivalent to 100 kg at the crank pin, and the reciprocating masses per cylinder to 200 kg. The wheel centre lines are 2 m apart. The cranks are at right angles. The whole of the rotating and 2/3 of the reciprocating masses are to be balanced by masses placed at a radius of 0.8 m. Find the magnitude of the balancing mass on the right most wheel. Select one: A. 55.32 kg B. 322.3 kg

Question 1

An inside cylinder locomotive has its cylinder centre lines 1 m apart and has a stroke of 1 m. The rotating masses per cylinder are equivalent to 100 kg at the crank pin, and the reciprocating masses per cylinder to 200 kg. The wheel centre lines are 2 m apart. The cranks are at right angles. The whole of the rotating and 2/3 of the reciprocating masses are to be balanced by masses placed at a radius of 0.8 m. Find the magnitude of the balancing mass on the right most wheel.

Select one:

A.

55.32 kg

B.

322.3 kg

C.

225.3 kg

D.
