BRIEF ABSTRACT

With the given realistic data, the main goal is to determine the piston's position with respect to time as well as the connecting rod's angle from the piston axis with respect to time. This problem is designed to be completed within a single class period once students are familiar with the concepts of position, velocity and acceleration.
