which induces rotation. This tangentialforce muhipHed by the crank radius will give the rotativemoment; thus, if the stroke is 2 feet, the crank radius will beI foot, and the tangential forces will then also representthe rotative moment in foot-pounds; if the stroke be30 inches, the tangential… … ton rod. Then, neglecting the friction of the cross-head,the force acting along the axis of the connecting rod will be Pr = cos b (56) At the crankpin this force P,- resolves itself into two com-ponents, one acting through the axis of the crank, toward (orfrom) the center of axle, and the other at…
