Reference no: EM13689015

Here is the question which I am struggling on, please help me!

Question: Consider the simplified single-piston engine in the figure below. If the wheel rotates at a constant angular speed, explain why the piston rod oscillates in simple harmonic motion.

I want you to explain the physics in this problem.
