From the following data of a 60 degree V-twin engine, determine the maximum value for primary forces in newtons:Reciprocating mass per cylinder = 1.5 Kg Stroke length = 10 cm Length of connecting rod = 25 cm Engine speed = 2500 rpm

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The primary force in a V-twin engine is calculated using the formula: F = m * r * ω² * (cosθ + (r/l) * cos2θ). Here, m = 1.5 kg, r = 0.05 m (half of stroke length), ω = 2π * (2500/60) rad/s, and l = 0.25 m. The maximum force occurs when cosθ = 1 and cos2θ = 1. Plugging in these values gives the maximum primary force as approximately 7711 N.
