Analysis

1. Show the derivation of the theoretical and sample of calculation

a. Velocity

b. Accelerations

Attached your graphs of

I. Displacement (Experimental and Theoretical) vs crank angle

II. Velocity vs crank angle.
III. Acceleration vs crank angle.
Discussions

1. Prove the theoretical displacement x =r(1−cosθ )

2. Compare the experimental and theoretical piston rod displacement. How well do your experimental results
agree with theory?
3. What is the motion produced by the Slotted Link mechanism? Explain your answer.

4. Where do maximum displacement, velocity and acceleration on the slide occur? Explain your answer
