1.54 Figure 1.

101 shows an offset slider-crank mechanism with a crank length r, connecting

rod length l, and offset d. If the crank has a mass and mass moment of inertia of m r and
Jr, respectively, at its center of mass A, the connecting rod has a mass and mass moment
of inertia of m c and Jc, respectively, at its center of mass C, and the piston has a mass m p,
determine the equivalent rotational inertia of the system about the center of rotation of the
crank, point O.
