A four-cylinder vertical engine has cranks 150mm long. The plane of rotation of the first, second and fourth cranks are 400mm, 200mm and 200mm respectively from that of the third crank and their reciprocating masses are 50kg, 60kg and 50kg respectively. Find the mass of the reciprocating parts for the third cylinder and relative angular position of the cranks in order that the engine may be in complete balance.
