Find the piston effort of an engine during acceleration having net load on the piston is 1000kg, inertia force of 0.5kN, mass of the reciprocating parts 10kg and neglecting frictional resistance.

Find the piston effort of an engine during acceleration having net load on the piston is 1000kg, inertia force of 0.5kN, mass of the reciprocating parts 10kg and neglecting frictional resistance. Correct Answer 9.4 kN

Piston effort = FL – FI + WR – RF = (1000 * 9.81) – 500 + (10 * 9.81) – 0 = 9408.1 N = 9.4 kN
