The primary unbalanced force due to inertia of reciprocating parts in a reciprocating engine is given by (where m = Mass of reciprocating parts, $$\omega $$ = Angular speed of crank, r = Radius of crank, $$\theta $$ = Angle of inclination of crank with the line of stroke and n = Ratio of the length of connecting rod to radius of crank)
A. $${\text{m}}{\omega ^2}{\text{r}}\sin \theta $$
B. $${\text{m}}{\omega ^2}{\text{r}}\cos \theta $$
C. $${\text{m}}{\omega ^2}{\text{r}}\frac{{\sin 2\theta }}{{\text{n}}}$$
D. $${\text{m}}{\omega ^2}{\text{r}}\frac{{\cos2\theta }}{{\text{n}}}$$
