QUESTION 1
Link AB in the mechanism shown in Figure Q1 has an angular velocity of 8 rad/s (CCW)
constant. At the instant shown, AB is vertical and BC is in horizontal position.
Determine the,
(i) velocity and acceleration of point C,
(ii) angular velocity and angular acceleration of link CD.

AB=0
rad/s2
VC=VB + VC/B
Where;
VB= AB rAB
VC= CD rCD
VC/B= CB rC/B
therefore;
1.38CDj 0.8CDi = -6.4 i - 0.3CB j
or
CB = - 36.8 rad/s
Therefore, VC= 1.38(8)j 0.8(8)i = 11j 6.4i m/s
Acceleration
aC=aB + aC/B
or
Where;
aC(t) = CD rC
aC(n) = CD (CD rC) = -(CD)2 (rC) = -(8)2 (1.38i + 0.8j) = -88.3i - 51.2j m/s2
aB(t) = 0 m/s2
aB(n) = AB (AB rB) = -(AB)2 (rB) = -(8)2 (0.8j) = -51.2j m/s2
aC/B(t) = CB rC/B
= -0.30CBj m/s2
= CBk (-0.30i)
= 406.3i m/s2
therefore;
1.38CDj 0.8CDi - 88.3i - 51.2j = -51.2j -0.30CBj +406.3i
Equating i components;
0.8CD - 88.3 = 406.3i ,
CD = -618.25 rad/s2
Equating j components;
1.38(-618.25) - 51.2 = -51.2 - 0.30CB,

RB = RA+ RB/A ;
where;
RA= R1 u1 +21^ R1 u1 +1^ R1 u1 + 1 ^(1^ R1 u1 )
Where 1= 1j + 1j = 0 + 0 =0, so
RA = 0 + 0 + 0 + (1j^-0.4k) = -0.4i m/s2
, so
= - 4.25i m/s2
Therefore,
RB= -0.4i -4.25i = -4.65i m/s2
