  3. 6(a). For a two-cylinder locomotive with cranks at 90°: reciprocating mass per cylinder = 300 kg; crank radius = 0.3 m; driving wheel diameter = 1.8 m; distance between cylinder centre lines = 0.65 m; distance between driving wheel central planes = 1.55 m. Determine (i) the fraction of reciprocating masses to be balanced if hammer blow is not to exceed 46 kN at 96.5 km/h, (ii) variation in tractive effort, and (iii) maximum swaying couple.20267m
