Question No 2

Let us consider that

From the figure above, it can be observed that velocity of A at any time instant will be equal to rate of change of horizontal displacement x. So,

( ( ( )

) )

Similarly, in terms of

the displacement x can be expressed as:

[(

( ( )

Finding Velocity of Piston:

Now, using the expression for x:

) ( )

Similarly, velocity in terms of (

is expressed as:

Following is the plot of vA Vs theta:

Followings are the values of maximum velocity and corresponding angle:

Maximum Velocity of Piston-A: Vmax = 5.6160 Angle Corresponding to Maximum Velocity: theta_Vmax = 1.1800

Following is the Matlab code:

clc clear all close all r=50; l=125; tt=[0:0.01:2*pi]; w=1; v=(-r.*sin(tt)-(r^2.*sin(tt).*cos(tt))./sqrt(l^2-r^2.*((sin(tt)).^2))).*w;

plot(tt,v) title('PLOT OF VELOCITY VS \theta')

xlabel('\rightarrow \theta (rad)') ylabel('\rightarrow V_A') grid on [Vmax Indmax]=max(abs(v)); display('Maximum Velocity of Piston-A: ') Vmax display('Angle Corresponding to Maximum Velocity: ') theta_Vmax=tt(Indmax)

Finding Acceleration:
Acceleration of piston-A will be equal to the double rate of change of x: ( ) *( [( *( *( ) ( [( ( *( ) ( )+ ) ) *( ) )] )+ ) + )+ )+ ( *( *( )+ )+ )

Acceleration of G Relative to C:
Let d be the radial distance between G and C. Then, the radial and tangential components of acceleration of G are given by:
