TOM FM Mabasa LAB 3

This document is a lab report analyzing the behavior of a piston connected to a crank mechanism. It includes an introduction stating the aim to analyze piston motion over one revolution. The apparatus of a HTM17 crank and connecting rod is described and pictured. A table shows the analyzed results of angle, velocity, acceleration, and displacement values at various crank angles. A graph plots these values over one revolution to show the angular velocity, acceleration, and displacement of the connecting rod.
