Download the file EngineTorque.gsp, an applet that shows how a car engine creates torque with the combustion of air and gasoline pushing a piston down and turning the crankshaft. This is called the power stroke. Gases are released on the up, or exhaust, stroke, but no torque is produced. This is a highly simplified model of an internal combustion engine. Engineers who design real engines must take more factors into account, such as the fuel being used, the way it burns in the cylinder and the transfer of force along the connecting rods. Open the applet and click on the Start/Stop Engine button. a) As the crankshaft turns, at what point(s) would the torque be the greatest? Provide mathematical evidence. b) At what point(s) would the torque be the least? Provide mathematical evidence. c) Compare the rotation of the crankshaft to how you would use a wrench. Which method would be more efficient? Support your argument mathematically. Review MHR 421
