12 b CO4 3 P3 Calculate A machine of mass 75 kg is mounted on springs of stiffness 1200 kN/m and with an
assumed damping factor of 0.2. A piston within the machine of mass 2 kg has a
reciprocating motion with a stroke of 80 mm and a speed of 3000 cycles/min.
Assuming the motion to be simple harmonic, find (i) the amplitude of motion of the
machine, (ii) its phase angle with respect to the exciting force, (iii) the force
transmitted to the foundation, and (iv) the phase angle of transmitted force with
respect to the exciting force.
Determine The following data refer to a two cylinder locomotive with cranks at 90 o. Mass of
reciprocating parts / cylinder = 300 kg; Cranks radius = 0.3 m; Diameter of driving
wheel =1.8m; distance between cylinder axis = 0.65 m; Distance between the driving

wheel = 1.55 m. Determine the fraction of the reciprocating masses to be balanced if
the hammer blow is not to exceed 46 kN at 96.5kmph., the variation in tractive effort
and the maximum swaying couple.
