Concept explainers
Crankshaft A crank of radius r rotates with an angular frequency ω. It is connected to a piston by a connecting rod of length L (see figure). The acceleration of the piston varies with the position of the crank according to the function
For fixed ω and r, find the values of θ, with 0 ≤ θ ≤ 2 π, for which the acceleration of the piston is a maximum and minimum.
