This Demonstration shows the velocity, acceleration, and instantaneous center of rotation for a simple slider-crank mechanism with adjustable crank length and connecting rod to crank length ratio. The connecting rod links the rotating crank to the slider. The velocity vectors for the crank and slider are shown as blue arrows. At any instant, the connecting rod rotates about an instantaneous center of rotation (the intersection of the dashed lines).
