In which of the following cases Bennett’s construction can be used?

(a) Crank has a uniform angular velocity

(b) Crank has a uniform angular acceleration

(c) Lever has a uniform angular acceleration

(d) When the motion is SHM

This question was posed to me in a national level competition.

The doubt is from Bennett’s Construction in chapter Inertia Forces in Reciprocating Parts of Machine Dynamics

Right answer is (a) Crank has a uniform angular velocity

The best I can explain: Bennett’s construction can be used in both the cases, i.e when the crack has both uniform and non uniform angular velocity.
