  2. Piston motion equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piston_motion_equations

    For rod length 6" and crank radius 2" (as shown in the example graph below), numerically solving the acceleration zero-crossings finds the velocity maxima/minima to be at crank angles of ±73.17615°. Then, using the triangle law of sines, it is found that the rod-vertical angle is 18.60647° and the crank-rod angle is 88.21738°. Clearly, in ...

    Then, using the triangle sine law, it is found that the crank to connecting rod angle is 88.21738° and the connecting rod angle is 18.60647° from vertical (see Piston motion equations#Example). When the crank is driven by the connecting rod, a problem arises when the crank is at top dead centre (0°) or bottom dead centre (180°).

  4. Equations of motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equations_of_motion

    There are two main descriptions of motion: dynamics and kinematics.Dynamics is general, since the momenta, forces and energy of the particles are taken into account. In this instance, sometimes the term dynamics refers to the differential equations that the system satisfies (e.g., Newton's second law or Euler–Lagrange equations), and sometimes to the solutions to those equations.

  5. Bell's spaceship paradox - Wikipedia

    They also argued that there indeed is a difference between a) and b): Case a) is the ordinary case of length contraction, based on the concept of the rod's rest length l 0 in S 0, which always stays the same as long as the rod can be seen as rigid. Under those circumstances, the rod is contracted in S.

  6. Reciprocating motion - Wikipedia

    Thus, the displacement of that point is indeed exactly sinusoidal by definition. However, during the cycle, the angle of the connecting rod changes continuously, so the horizontal displacement of the "far" end of the connecting rod (i.e., connected to the piston) differs slightly from sinusoidal.

  7. Length contraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Length_contraction

    It's clear that distance AB is equal to length of the moving object. [13] Using this method, the definition of simultaneity is crucial for measuring the length of moving objects. Another method is to use a clock indicating its proper time T 0 {\displaystyle T_{0}} , which is traveling from one endpoint of the rod to the other in time T ...

  8. Tension (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tension_(physics)

    Each end of a string or rod under such tension could pull on the object it is attached to, in order to restore the string/rod to its relaxed length. Tension (as a transmitted force, as an action-reaction pair of forces, or as a restoring force) is measured in newtons in the International System of Units (or pounds-force in Imperial units). The ...

  9. Instant centre of rotation - Wikipedia

    The displacement can be viewed as a rotation around this pole. Construction for the pole of a planar displacement. First, select two points A and B in the moving body and locate the corresponding points in the two positions; see the illustration. Construct the perpendicular bisectors to the two segments A 1 A 2 and B 1 B 2. The intersection P ...
