Kinematics study

Operating ranges of the rocker

1) Angular displacement:
Maximum = 150 x (2π/360) = 2.62 rad (3s.f)
Minimum = 76 x (2π/360) = 1.33 rad (3s.f)
2) Angular velocity:
Maximum = 187 x (2π/360) = 3.26 rad/s (3s.f)
Minimum = -456 x (2π/360) = -7.96 rad/s (3s.f)
3) Angular acceleration:
Maximum = 5100 x (2π/360) = 89.0 rad/s2 (3s.f)
Minimum = -3463 x (2π/360) = -60.4 rad/s2 (3s.f)
