Velocity And Acceleration Of A Piston. In order to define the velocity and acceleration of a piston, consider the mechanism in Figure 1, where the crank is driven with the uniform angular velocity . Also, let be the crank radius, the rod length, the position of the piston pin from the crank center, the angle, and the angle (the crank angle). ................
