In a reciprocating saw, a Scotch yoke converts the rotation of the motor into the back-and-forth motion
Question:
The Scotch yoke is a mechanical device used to convert oscillatory motion to circular motion or vice versa. A wheel with a fixed knob rotates at constant angular velocity; the knob is constrained within a vertical slot causing the saw blade to move left and right without moving up and down. Is the motion of the saw blade SHM? Explain.
