For the slider-crank of Prob. 5/211, derive the expression for the acceleration a A of the piston

Question:

For the slider-crank of Prob. 5/211, derive the expression for the acceleration a_A of the piston (taken positive to the right) as a function of θ for w = θ˙ = constant. Substitute the numerical data of Sample Problem 5/15 and calculate aA as a function of θ for 0 ≤ θ ≤ 180°. Plot a_A versus θ and find the value of θ for which a_A = 0. (By symmetry anticipate the results for 180° ≤ θ ≤ 360°.)
