+ A slider crank mechanism is a common mechanical system that converts rotational motion into linear motion. + It consists of a crank, a connecting rod, and a slider. + The crank rotates about a fixed axis, the connecting rod connects the crank to the slider, and the slider moves linearly along a guide or track. +

+

+ Here are some things to keep in mind when solving problems involving slider-crank mechanisms: +

+
    +
  • The velocity of the slider is purely tangential to the path of the slider.
  • +
  • The acceleration of the slider is purely tangential to the path of the slider.
  • +
  • The slider has a reaction force normal to the path of the slider.
