    The document is a term end examination for a course on kinematics of machinery. It consists of 20 short answer questions in Part A worth 2 marks each, and 5 longer answer questions in Part B worth 16 marks each. Some example questions ask students to define terms like degree of freedom, explain mechanisms like bicycle bells and Oldham couplings, calculate velocities and accelerations in linkage systems, synthesize four-bar linkages, and analyze spur gears and epicyclic gear trains. The exam tests students' understanding of key concepts in kinematics and the analysis and design of linkages and gear systems.

    In the toggle mechanism, as shown in Fig.1, D is constrained to move on a horizontal path.


    The dimensions of various links are : AB = 200 mm;
    BC = 300 mm; OC = 150 mm and BD = 450 mm.
    The crank OC is rotating in a counter clockwise direction at a speed of 180 rpm increasing
    at the rate of 50 rad/sec2. Find, for the given configuration,
    i) Velocity and acceleration of D and
    ii) Angular velocity and angular acceleration of BD.

    spacing three precision points. Take 0=30, 0=60, and ==90, and r1=10.

    14.

    In a cam with translating roller follower, the follower axis is offset to the right of the cam
    hinge by 12 mm. The roller radius is 10 mm and the cam rotates in the counter clockwise
    direction. Layout the rise portion of the cam profile to meet the following specifications:
    Rise takes place during 180 of cam rotation of which for the first 90 the rise is with
    constant acceleration and the rest is with constant retardation. Take seven station points
    only. The lift of the cam is 30 mm and the least radius of the cam is 25 mm.

    larger gear has 50 teeth and the pinion 13 teeth. Does the interference occur? If it occurs,
    to what value should the pressure angle be changed to eliminate interference?

    16.

    In an epicyclic gear train (Fig.2) the internal wheels A and B and compound wheels C and
