Problem 7.100
The crank
AB
in the slider-crank mechanism is rotating counterclockwise with constant angular velocity
!AB
. The crankshaft radius is
R
, the length of the connecting rod
BC
is
L
, and the distance from the
mass center of the connecting rod
D
to the end of the crank at
B
is
d
. The mass of the connecting rod is
mD, the mass moment of inertia of the connecting rod is ID, and the mass of the piston is mC.
(a)
Using the component system shown, determine the
x
and
y
components of the forces on the
connecting rod at Band Cas functions of the crank angle .
(b)
Using
!AB D5700 rpm

mDD0:439 kg
,
IDD

, and
mCD0:434 kg
, plot each of the four force components, the magnitude of the
forces at
B
and
C
, and the moment acting on the connecting rod about point
D
, all as a function of
