Slider-Crank - Machine Dynamics (What the MERM doesn't tell you)

In this video, I cover one of the most famous of all 2D mechanisms, the slider-crank. My goal is to help you understand this important topic.  The MERM has some major gaps and problematic approaches to Rigid-body Kinematics and Kinetics. To address this shortcoming, I have recorded this video as an instructional companion to the MERM. I hope this video helps you understand these topics better. After you watch it, let me know how this video has helped you with your review for the PE Exam? In your college course? Passing a test? You’ll find lots more videos on my YouTube channel on fundamental mechanical engineering topics. If you’d like to see more videos like this as they become available, subscribe to our channel.
