A Scotch yoke is a mechanism that transforms the circular motion of a crank into the reciprocating

Question:

A Scotch yoke is a mechanism that transforms the circular motion of a crank into the reciprocating motion of a shaft (or vice versa). It has been used in a number of different internal combustion engines and in control valves. In the Scotch yoke shown, the acceleration of Point A is defined by the relation a = -1.8sin kt, where a and t are expressed in m/s2 and seconds, respectively, and k = 3 rad/s. Knowing that x = 0 and v = 0.6 m/s when t = 0, determine the velocity and position of Point A when t = 0.5 s.image
