Hi, I am scratching my head from some time about this problem I was wondering if you can help.
Question:The saw blade in a lunber mill is required to remain in the horizontal position and undergo a complete back and forth motion in 2 seconds. An electric motor, having a shaft rotation of 50 rad/ sec is available to power the saw and can be located anywhere. Design a mechanism that will transfer he rotation of the motor's shaft to the saw blade. show calculations of the kinematics of the saw blade. and include a plot of the velocity and acceleration of the saw blade as a function of horizontal position.
Answer: I was thinking of a crank and slider mechanism but then was stuck at the calculations especially on how to plot the graph as a function of horizontal position..?. please help/......
