In a slider crank mechanism, the length of the crank and connecting rod are 180 mm and 540 mm respectively. The crank position is 45° from inner dead centre. The crank shaft speed is 450 r.p.m. (clockwise), calculate angular velocity of the connecting rod in rad/s.

(a) 10.3

(b) 11.1

(c) 12.2

(d) 11.8

The question was asked during a job interview.

Question is taken from Angular Velocity and Acceleration of the Connecting Rod in chapter Inertia Forces in Reciprocating Parts of Machine Dynamics

The correct answer is (b) 11.1

Easy explanation: n = l/r : 540/180 = 3

angular velocity is given by ω.cos θ/n = (450*2pi / 60).cos45/3  = 11.1 rad/s.
