The tractive force in a locomotive with two cylinders is given by (where c = Fraction of reciprocating parts per cylinder, m = Mass of reciprocating parts, $$\omega $$ = Angular speed of crank, r = Radius of crank and $$\theta $$ = Angle of inclination of crank to the line of stroke)
The unbalanced force due to reciprocating masses
A rigid body, under the action of external forces, can be replaced by two masses placed at a fixed distance apart. The two masses form an equivalent dynamical system, if
