How to accurately describe piston vectors
How to accurately describe piston vectors
(OP)
I am very curious as to know how this works, as I am very passionate about cars, and how they work. I already tried using the search function, and nothing to my knowledge concerning piston vectors came up.
Today in my math class, my professor was talking about vectors in the general sense, which made me start thinking about how I can apply the mathematical term of vectors to a car piston, since I am new to the mathematical side of the engineering world, would anyone care to explain how this is written or achieved? What forces would be acting on the piston head other than: combustion, oil friction, crank resistance and gravity?
