2. For the system shown below, develop an equation for the velocity of the piston as a function of $\omega$, $\theta$, and x; then calculate the velocity of the piston if $L_1 = 1$ m, $L_2 = 2$ m, $\theta = 20^\circ$, and $\omega = -4$ rad/s. Use absolute motion analysis to solve this problem. ($v_x = \frac{L_1 \omega x \sin(\theta)}{L_1 \cos(\theta) - x}$, 2.02 m/s$\rightarrow$)

We have: - w: angular velocity (in radians per second) - 0: initial angle (in radians) - x: displacement (in meters) - L: length of the piston (in meters) - z: constant Show more…

A constant force $\mathbf{P}$ is applied to a piston and rod of total mass $m$ to make them move in a cylinder filled with oil. As the piston moves, the oil is forced through orifices in the piston and exerts on the piston a force of magnitude $k v$ in a direction opposite to the motion of the piston. Knowing that the piston starts from rest at $t=0$ and $x=0,$ show that the equation relating $x, v,$ and $t,$ where $x$ is the distance traveled by the piston and $v$ is the speed of the piston, is linear in each of these variables.

For the system shown in the figure below, the cylinder on the left, at L, has a mass of 600 kg and a cross sectional area of 800 cm². The piston on the right, at S, has a cross-sectional area of 25 cm² and a negligible weight. If the apparatus is filled with oil (ρ = 780 kg/m³), find the force F required to hold the system in equilibrium as shown.
