A slider-crank mechanism with crank radius 60 mm and connecting rod length 240 mm is shown in figure. The crank is rotating with a uniform angular speed of 10 rad/s, counter clockwise. For the given configuration, the speed (in m/s) of the slider is _______.
-
- 0.6 m/s
- 0.3 m/s
- 0.1 m/s
- 0.1 m/s
Correct Option: A
L = 240 mm
r = 60 mm
| n = | = 4 | |
| r |
ω = 10 rad/s
| cosθ = | |
| n |
θ = tan−1(4) = 75.96°
| ∴ VS = ωr |  | sinθ + |  | |
| 2n |
| ∴ VS = 10 × 0.06 | | sin75.96° + | | |
| 2 × 4 |
= 0.6 × 1.0288
= 0.6 m/s
