This document contains exam questions on kinematics of machines. It includes definitions of higher pairs and kinematic chains, explanations and sketches of four-bar mechanisms and parallel crank mechanisms, and questions involving slider crank mechanisms, four-bar mechanisms, gear trains, and cam profiles. Questions calculate velocities, accelerations, angular velocities and require determining gear ratios, number of teeth, and speeds based on given rotational speeds and dimensions of links.

a. In a four bar mechanism, the crank AB is 300 mm long, BC = CD = 360 mm, and AD the fixed link is 600 mm long. The crank makes and angle of 60 with the fixed link, and it rotates uniformly at 100 rpm. Locate all the instantaneous centers and find the angular velocity of link Be. (10 Marks) b. A reciprocating engine mechanism has connecting rod 200 mm long and crank 50 mm long. By using KLEIN's construction, determine the velocity and acceleration of piston, and angular acceleration of connecting rod, when the crank has turned through 45 from IDC clockwise and is rotating at 240 rpm. (10 Marks) 5 PART-B The slider crank of a internal combustion engine mechanism includes a crank of 50 mm length and the connecting rod of 200 mm length. The crank speed of the engine is constant at 300 rpm. Determine the acceleration of the mass centre of the connecting rod by using complex number method, when the crank angle is 30. The mass centre is located at 50 mm from the crank pin. (20 Marks) 10f2
