    The document is a homework assignment submitted by Justin Drawbert on May 29, 2012 for EAS215 that involves solving a problem about determining the velocity of a piston in a marine engine mechanism. The mechanism includes a crank, two connecting rods, and pistons. Given information about the angular velocity of the crank and lengths of components, the solution uses trigonometry and kinematic equations to calculate that the velocity of piston C is 0.89658 m/s.

    Problem 16-102

    The mechanism used in a marine engine consists of a crank AB and two connecting rods BC and BD. Determine the velocity of the piston at C the instant the crank is in the position shown and has an angular velocity of 5 rad/s.

    Given

    AB = 5 rad/s AB = 0.2 m

    BC = 0.4 m BD = 0.4 m

    Solution
    Since the crankshaft rotates about a xed point, we know that vB = (5 rad/s)(0.2 m) = 1.0 m/s We then dene our IC.

    By law of sines, we then know that, rB/IC 0.4 m = sin(75 ) sin(45 ) rB/IC = 0.54641 m Next, since vB is known, we can calculate BC . BC = Then, vC = BC rC/IC = 0.89658 m/s vB = 1.8301 rad/s rC/IC rC/IC 0.4 m = sin(60 ) sin(45 ) rC/IC = 0.48990 m
