The system is stationary at the instant shown. The net force exerted on the piston by the exploding fuel-air mixture and friction is 5 kN to the left. A clockwise couple M -200 N-m acts on the crank AB. The moment of inertia of the crank about A is 0.0003 kg-m2. The mass of the connecting rod BC is 0.36 kg, and its center of mass is 40 mm from B on the line from B to C. The connecting rod’s moment of inertia about its center of mass is 0.0004 kg-m2. The mass of the piston is 4.6 kg. What is the piston’s acceleration? (Neglect the gravitational forces on the crank and connecting rod.)
