REPORT 1
Apparatus:
Slider crank mechanism
Meter rod
Degree meter showing crank position
Graph paper
Introduction:
The experiment will teach us the construction and working principle of the slider
crank mechanism along with its basics applications in everyday life, along with the
relationship between displacement, velocity and acceleration by general analysis.
Theory
1. Links:
Every element or pair of elements that can move relatively with respect to other
part of machine is called link. Link or Links may refer to:
Link, a single element of a chain [1].
[0]
So, a machine is basically a combinations of links.
3. Kinematic chain:
A kinematic chain is an assembly of rigid bodies connected
by joints to provide constrained (or desired) motion for a mechanical system.
[5] As in the familiar use of the word chain, the rigid bodies, or links, are
constrained by their connections to other links. An example is the simple open
chain formed by links connected in series, like the usual chain. [6]
4. Mechanism:
A mechanism, in engineering, is a device that transforms input
forces and movement into a desired set of output forces and movement.
Mechanisms generally consist of moving components that can include:

Comments:
The graph between degree and displacement is a parabola downward
The graph between degree and velocity is a sinusoidal curve
The graph between degree and acceleration is a cosine curve
