he line of the connecting rod.This leads to a very irregular turning effort at the crank-shaft. Thus in Fig. 50, if F be the force on the piston, P the forceactingalong the rod, and R the reaction from the cylinder wall,R and P can be calculated when F is known by applying the 152 THE INTERNAL… … Fig. 50.—Forces acting at Gudgeon Pin and at Crank Pin. In order to study it more fully it is necessary to considerthe variation of F during the cycle. Now F is proportional-to the height of the indicator diagram, and if the four suc-cessive strokes of a four-stroke engine are set out in one…
