Shows a particular position of 200 mm connecting rod AB and 80 mm long crank BC. At this position, the connecting rod of the engine experience a force of 3000 N on the crank pin at B. Find its (a) horizontal and vertical component (b) component along BC and normal to it.

Answer»

The force of 3000 N acts along line AB. Let AB make angle α with horizontal. Then, obviously 200 sin α = 80 sin 60° 

∴ α = 20.268° 

Referring to we get Horizontal component = 3000 cos 20.268° = 2814.2 N 

Vertical component = 3000 sin 20.268° = 1039.2 N 

Components along and normal to crank: 

The force makes angle α + 60° = 20.268 + 60 = 80.268° with crank. 

∴ Component along crank = 3000 cos 80.268° = 507.1 N 

Component normal to crank = 3000 sin 80.268° = 2956.8 N
