= 350 mm2; and compression stroke = 1400 mm2. Each mm2 represents 3 N-m. Assuming the resisting moment to be uniform, find
the mass of the rim of a flywheel required to keep the mean speed 200 r.p.m. within ± 2%. The mean radius of the rim may be taken

mm and 35 mm respectively from the axis of rotation. The masses A, C and D are 7.5 kg, 5 kg and 4 kg respectively. The axial

two-third of the reciprocating masses are to be balanced and the balanced masses are placed, in the planes of rotation of the driving
wheels, at a radius of 0.8 m. The driving wheels are 2 m in diameter and 1.5 m apart. If the speed of the engine is 80 km. p.h. ; find

87.5 mm in diameter for the next 375 mm length and 175 mm in diameter for the remaining 100 mm of its length. The shaft carries
two rotors at two ends. The mass moment of inertia of the first rotor is 75 kgm2 where as of the second rotor is 50 kgm2. Find the

1.7m and the distance between wheel centers is 1.5m. When the locomotive is travelling on a level track @ 88km/hr, defective
ballasting causes one wheel to fall 5mm and rise again in a total time of 0.1 sec, if the displacement of the wheel takes place with
