‘ω’ rad/sec is the angular velocity of a crank whose radius is ‘r’. If it makes θ° with inner dead centre and obliquity of the connecting rod ‘l’ is ‘ϕ’, the velocity v of the piston, is given by the equation
Three forces acting at a point, can be rep-resented by the sides of a triangle, each side being in proportion to the force
If the forces acting on a particle be represented in magnitude and direction by the two sides of a triangle taken in order, their resultant will be represented in magnitude and direction by the third
If three forces acting on a, point can be represented in magnitude and direction, by the sides of a triangle taken in order, these will be in equilibrium
Three forces acting along the sides of a triangle are always in equilibrium
