Question 35Motor Plants - Assistant Engineer
70% to passThe cubic inch (or liter) displacement of a cylinder is determined by the diameter of the piston and the_______________.
Alength of the crankshaft
Bvolume of the clearance space
Cweight of the piston
Dlength of the stroke
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) length of the stroke. The cubic inch (or liter) displacement of a cylinder is determined by the diameter of the piston and the length of the stroke. The stroke is the distance the piston travels within the cylinder, from top to bottom. This, combined with the piston diameter, determines the total volume or displacement of the cylinder. The other options are incorrect because they are not directly related to the calculation of cylinder displacement. The length of the crankshaft, the volume of the clearance space, and the weight of the piston do not factor into the basic formula for determining cylinder displacement.
