The height of a piston, h, in inches, can be modeled by the equation y = 2cos x + 5, where x represents the crank angle. Find the height of the piston when the crank angle is 55°.

Solutions

Expert Solution

The height of a piston h (in inches) is modeled by the function,

y = 2cosx + 5… (1)

Where, x represents the crank angle.

For crank angle as 55 degrees, substitute x = 55° in the function (1) y = 2cosx + 5 and compute the height of the piston as follows:

y = 2cos(55°) + 5

= 2 × (0.57357643…) + 5

= 6.147152872…

≈ 6.15

Rounding to the nearest hundredth, the height of the piston is approximately 6.15 inches when the crank angle is 55 degrees.

The projectile motion equation is s(t)=-16t^2+vt+h where s(t) represents the distance or height of an object at time t, v represents the initial speed of the object in ft/s, and h is the initial height of the object, measured in feet. If an object is starting at rest, then v=0 (such as for a penny being dropped from a building). If the object is starting from the ground, h=0. The baseball or cannonball situations, each have an initial velocity. For...
