Question

HOW CAN I SOLVE THIS QUESTION? PLEASE HELP The movement of a locomotive piston in the cylinder is limited to 0.76 m. Assume that the piston makes a simple harmonic movement that makes 180 revolutions per minute, and find its maximum speed.

Answer 1

7.2 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

The maximum speed is the amplitude times the frequency.

v = Aω

v = (0.76 m / 2) (180 rev × 2π rad/rev / 60 s)

v = 7.2 m/s
