The cranks and connecting rods of a four cylinder in-line engine running at 2000 rpm are  60mm and 240mm each respectively. The cylinders are spaced 150 mm apart. If the  cylinders are numbered 1 to 4 in sequence from one end, the cranks appear at intervals of  90º in an end view in the order 1-4-2-3.The reciprocating mass for each cylinder is 15 kg.

Question

The cranks and connecting rods of a four cylinder in-line engine running at 2000 rpm are 
60mm and 240mm each respectively. The cylinders are spaced 150 mm apart. If the 
cylinders are numbered 1 to 4 in sequence from one end, the cranks appear at intervals of 
90º in an end view in the order 1-4-2-3.The reciprocating mass for each cylinder is 15 kg. 
Determine (i) unbalanced primary and secondary forces, (ii) unbalanced primary and 
secondary couples with reference to central plane of the engine
