A crank of radius r rotates with an angular frequency v. It is connected to a piston

Question:

A crank of radius r rotates with an angular frequency v. It is connected to a piston by a connecting rod of length L (see figure). The acceleration of the piston varies with the position of the crank according to the function

r cos 20 w'r (co a(0) = w²r( cos 0 +

For fixed v and r, find the values of θ, with 0 ≤ θ ≤ 2π, for which the acceleration of the piston is a maximum and minimum.
