Which of the following is the correct expression for secondary force?

(a) mω^2r.cos2θ/n

(b) mω^2r.sin2θ/n

(c) mω^2r.tan2θ/n

(d) mω^2r.cosθ/n

I have been asked this question by my college professor while I was bunking the class.

Origin of the question is Balancing of Coupled Locomotives & Secondary Forces of Multi-cylinder Inline Engines topic in portion Balancing of Reciprocating Masses of Machine Dynamics

Right choice is (a) mω^2r.cos2θ/n

The best I can explain: The secondary force depends on the following factors:

mass, rotating speed, radius of crank and the cosine of the crank angle.
