Analyze the mechanism of Problem 9.15 by the method of virtual work.

Problem 9.15

Determine the torque
T
₁
required for static equilibrium of the two-cylinder engine depicted in Figure P9.15. Piston forces
F
₄and
F
₅
have magnitudes of 6,000 N and 2,000 N, respectively. Consider the case where cylinder V angle
 is 90⁰
,crank spacing is
90⁰
, and crank angle
 is 16°.
