Question

A 2.0- litre four - cylinder engine will have q capacity of 500cc in each of its cylinders. What would the size of this engine be if two more 500cc cylinders are added

Answer 1

The engine size would be 3.0 litre

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

Volume of engine = 2.0 litre

Number of cylinders = 4

Capacity of each cylinder = 500 cc

Therefore, when 2 more 500 cc cylinders are added, the size of the engine which is the total volume of combustion gases that can be handled by the cylinders of the engine becomes;

Engine size = Total volume of engine cylinders

New engine size = (4 + 2)×500 cc = 3000 cc = 3.0 litre.
