The oscillating drive-arm in Figure P2.9 has the maximum operating angle p/6. For a relatively short guide way, the reciprocating output stroke is large and it follows a straight line.
a. Find (by trial and error) such dimensions of the mechanism that the needed trajectory of the tracing point is achieved.
b. Animate the motion.
c. Plot the velocity and acceleration of point P over the cycle. What are the velocities and accelerations at the end points of the stroke?
