3. Fig.1a shows a fourbar linkage and its dimensions in meters. The steel
crank and rocker have uniform cross sections 50 mm wide by 25 mm thick.
The aluminum coupler is 25 mm thick. The crank O2 A rotates at a constant
speed of ω= 50 rad/sec. Design counterweights to force balance the linkage
and determine its change in peak torque versus the unbalanced condition.

6. A five cylinder in-line engine running at 750 rpm has successive cranks
144o apart, the distance between the cylinder center lines being 375 mm. The
piston stroke is 225 mm and the ration of the connecting rod to the crank is 4.
Examine the engine for balance of primary and secondary forces and couples.
Find the maximum values of these and the position of the central crank at
which these maximum values occur. The reciprocating mass for each cylinder
is 15 kg.
