    Angular Velocity Problem — a Piston and a Crank

    Thanks for that mate. Out of interest, why would the velocity be maximum when perpendicular to the fully extended/retracted angle? I've always thought I was OK at maths but I do not understand velocity and vector diagrams etc at all. This whole module has really got me! Interested to hear how...

    Angular Velocity Problem — a Piston and a Crank

    Hey JohnnyS...How did you go about tackling the final couple of questions? Determine the value of the angle θ (measured from vertical) when: (i) the velocity of point B = 0 (ii) the angular velocity of link AB a maximum. (c) What is the maximum angular velocity of link AB? I think I've...

    How Do You Calculate Gear Train Efficiency Based on Load Torque?

    JohnnyS did you ever get to an answer for d? I'm on the same question and have pretty much the same answers for a-c but I'm stuck on d. Not really sure what the question is asking for.
