I was little confused about taking inertial forces into significance while calculating piston effort in a piston crank slider arrangement. I read an analysis of various forces acting in a piston cylinder arrangement in a book yersterday, and while calculating piston effort(net force on piston...
A 0.40kg metal slider is sitting on smooth (frictionless) conducting rails as shown below. What is the magnitude and direction of the acceleration of the slider?
Given,
B = 3.0T I = 5.0A m = 0.40kg
R = either 0.1m or 0.05m, I am not sure if you half it because...
I'm having trouble figuring out this problem. I know how to solve the problem if the angular velocity was known but there seem to be too many unknowns to be able to generate graphs. If anyone can offer advice that would be great.
Homework Statement
Need to prove that a slider crank mechanism fits the Grueblers eqaution, already done for a four bar mechanism no problem, however having some serious problems with the slider crank. If l is the number of links and j is the number of joints

A flyball governor is a device used to regulate the speed of steam turbines in steam power plants. The rotation of the shaft causes the two balls move outward. As the balls move out, they pull on the bearing A. The position of the...

Collar B has a mass of 4 kg and is attached to a spring of constant 1500 N/m and of undeformed length 0.4 m. The system is set in motion with r = 0.2 m, v_theta = 6 m/s, and v_r = 0. Neglecting the mass of the rod and the effect of friction, determine the radial and...
Homework Statement
k = 40 N/m
mass of slider = 200 g
EDIT r = 0.3 m
Hoop is VERTICAL, undeformed length of the spring is when spring is in position AB, slider NOT attached to spring.
Find smallest value for theta such that the slider will pass through D and reach A (see picture).
