Question

The crank on the landing gear mechanism shown in Figure P7.41 is driven counterclockwise at a constant rate of 16 rpm . Use a spreadsheet to analytically create a curve for the angular displacement of the wheel assembly as a function of the crank angle. Convert the crank angle axis to time. Then use numerical differentiation to obtain angular velocity and angular acceleration curves of the wheel assembly as a function of time.

Step 1

The crank rotates counterclockwise at a constant rate of 16 revolutions per minute (rpm). Convert this rate to radians per second for calculations. Since 1 revolution = 2π radians, we have: \[ \text{Angular velocity of crank} = 16 \, \text{rpm} \times \frac{2\pi Show more…
