Simple Wheel/Crank and Slider Mechanism

grabcad

I created this as an educational tool for machine kinematics/dynamics students. It happened to be a question on my midterm exam and I did this for fun. This was done in Autodesk Inventor 2020To operate, either move the components by hand or under the part "Center Pivot Pin" in the model tab on the left of your Autodesk Inventor window, click the "+" symbol. Then right click "Rotational:1." Click "Drive." You can either press the forward/backward play button. If it's been reset somehow, type in 0.00deg in the "start" input and 9000000deg in the "end" input. If you look at the left face of the "Sliding Surface" part you will notice upward facing arrows and embossed numbers(0 and 5) that line up with a large downward facing arrow on the "Slider Block" part. This demonstrates the linear distance that the Slider Block travels. This distance can be mathematically calculated using law of sines and law of cosines. I also left a sketch visible, hence the dimension "5inches" above the model. If possible, I will upload a picture of the question and also the calculations with permission of my professor.
