STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Force at Fulcrum Pin: 3560 Newton --> 3560 Newton No Conversion Required
Diameter of Fulcrum Pin: 25 Millimeter --> 0.025 Meter (Check conversion here)
Bearing Pressure for Fulcrum Pin: 4.7 Newton per Square Millimeter --> 4700000 Pascal (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

l₁ = R_f/(d₁*P_bf) --> 3560/(0.025*4700000)

Evaluating ... ...

l₁ = 0.0302978723404255

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.0302978723404255 Meter -->30.2978723404255 Millimeter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

30.2978723404255 ≈ 30.29787 Millimeter <-- Length of Fulcrum Pin

Function of a rocker arm in IC Engine

The basic function of the rocker arm is to open or close the inlet or exhaust valve with respect to the motion of the cam and follower. The force required to operate the inlet valve is comparatively less. However, it is usual practice to make rocker arms for inlet and exhaust valves identical.
