Fig. 2.21 shows a particular position of the connecting rod BA and crank AO. At this position, the connecting rod of the engine exerts a force 2500 N on the crank pin at A. Resolve this force into horizontal and vertical components at A. Also resolve the given force at A along AO and along a direction perpendicular to AO.

The piston, connecting rod, and crankshaft of a diesel engine are shown in the figure. The crank throw OA is half of the stroke of 8 in, and the length AB of the rod is 14 in. For the position indicated, the rod is under a compression of 4000 lb along line AB. Determine the moment M of this force about the crankshaft axis O.
