    ASSIGNMENT 2

    EMT 2334: KINEMATICS OF PLANAR MECHANISMS

    1. Locate all the instantaneous centers of the slider crank mechanism shown in Fig. Q3. The length
    of crank OB and connecting rod AB are 100 mm and 400 mm respectively. If the crank rotates
    clockwise at the speed of 95.5 rpm, find velocity of the slider A, and angular velocity of the
    connecting rod AB. (10 Marks)

    2. Link CDE which forms a right angle at D, is driven by an offset slider-crank mechanism as shown
    in Fig. Q4(b). The dimensions of various links are as follows, OA = 25mm, AB = 80mm, BC =
    20mm, CD = 33mm and DE = 20mm. If crank OA is inclined at 45 degrees and revolves at
    uniform speed of 120rev=min in counterclockwise direction, draw the velocity and acceleration
    diagrams of the mechanism and hence determine, (10 Mks)
    (i) Angular velocities of links AB, BC and CDE and linear velocity of slider B
    (ii) Angular accelerations of links AB, BC and CDE and linear acceleration of slider B
    TUTORIAL EXERCISE:
    1. Figure below shows a whit-worth quick return motion mechanism in which the driving crank OA
    rotates at 120 rpm in clockwise direction. The dimensions for various links are; OA=150 mm,
    OC=100 mm, CD=125 mm and DR=500 mm. For the position shown, determine the magnitude
    and direction of: [20 Marks]
    (a) The acceleration of block R
    (b) The angular acceleration of the slotted bar CA
    (c) The angular acceleration of link DR

    2. A toggle mechanism has dimensions in mm as shown in Figure 5. Find the velocities at pins B
    and P and angular velocities of links AB, BC and BP. Assume the crank to rotate at 60 degrees
    r.p.m. in counter clockwise direction. Also find the mechanical advantage. [10 Marks]
