A computer simulation of the crank and connecting rod mechanism considered in Example 2.44 evaluates the position

Question:

A computer simulation of the crank and connecting rod mechanism considered in Example 2.44 evaluates the position of the end Q of the connecting rod at equal intervals of the angle x°. Given that the displacement y of Q satisfies

y=rcos x + (1 - rsinx)

find the sequence of values of y where r = 5, l = 10 and the interval between successive values of x° is 1°.


Data from Example 2.44

Consider the crank and connecting rod mechanism illustrated in Figure 2.66. Determine a functional relationship between the displacement of Q and the angle through which the crank OP has turned.
