The piston in the cylinder head of a locomotive has a stroke (twice the amplitude) of 1.0 m. If the piston moves with simple harmonic motion with an angular frequency of 200 rad/ min, what is its maximum speed? |
Answer» Stroke = 1 m Amplitude = (troke/2) = 1/2 m ω = 200 rad / min Vmax = ωA = 200 × 1/2 = 100 m / min Vmax = 1.67 m/s. |
