Velocity and accleration diagrams

AI Thread Summary
Determining the directions for velocity and acceleration diagrams in slider crank or slotted crank mechanisms can be challenging. When drawing acceleration diagrams, both tangential and radial components must be represented, with the tangential component drawn perpendicular to the radial component. The direction of the perpendicular is crucial and can be confusing, often requiring a solid understanding of the conventions used in mechanics. It is recommended to study the conventions for clockwise and counterclockwise directions to clarify the process. Mastery of these concepts becomes easier with practice and continued study.

how do we go about deciding the directions while drawing the velocity and accleration
diagrams for a given slider crank or slotted crank mechanism.while drawing the accleration
diagrams,2 components -tangential and radial component need to be shown ,so
when we draw the tangential component perpendicular to the radial component,in which direction would we take the perpendicular?please tell me, as while drawing it is really confusing

Sorry buddy, my answer ll offer you no direct help.:redface:

That subject takes hell of a time to understand. Just keep reading & try to resolve your concepts, it gets easy afterward
 
but please ,let me know the conventions i need to follow while dealing with
this topic-it has so many directions-clockwise,counterclockwise.
 
How did you find PF?: Via Google search Hi, I have a vessel I 3D printed to investigate single bubble rise. The vessel has a 4 mm gap separated by acrylic panels. This is essentially my viewing chamber where I can record the bubble motion. The vessel is open to atmosphere. The bubble generation mechanism is composed of a syringe pump and glass capillary tube (Internal Diameter of 0.45 mm). I connect a 1/4” air line hose from the syringe to the capillary The bubble is formed at the tip...
Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'
Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...
I'd like to create a thread with links to 3-D Printer resources, including printers and software package suggestions. My motivations are selfish, as I have a 3-D printed project that I'm working on, and I'd like to buy a simple printer and use low cost software to make the first prototype. There are some previous threads about 3-D printing like this: https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/are-3d-printers-easy-to-use-yet.917489/ but none that address the overall topic (unless I've missed...
