Solution:

For a vertical cylinder, the diameter of the piston is 60 mm and the mass of the reciprocating parts is 1.5 kg. At a point during the power stroke when the piston has moved from the top dead center, the force due to gas pressure on the piston is 3 kN. If the acceleration force is 2 kN acting upward and the angle between the connecting rod and the vertical is 10°, find the thrust in the connecting rod (up to 2 decimal places).
