Given the readial compressor shown in the figure below solve

Given the readial compressor shown in the figure below, solve for the torque generated in the crank (link 2) of the compressor. The compressor crank is rotating at a constant rate of 2500 RPM. The other position and velocity data is provided below, with all length units given in cm and velocities in cm/s. The pressure force on each piston in: F_p6 = 1kN, F_p7 = 5kN, F_p8 = 4kN. Please show all work. V_px6 = -1.408e3, V_py6 =.813e3; v_px? = 0, V_py? = 2.829e3; V_px8 = 3.858e3; v_py8 = 2.228e3;
