Tutorial 1: Kinematics and Dynamics of Machinery
Instructions:
i) Figure numbers correspond to the respective problem numbers
ii) Solve the problems using vector method
1. A wheel with center at O rolls without slipping so that its center is displaced 250 mm to
the right. What is the displacement of point P on the periphery during this interval?
Fig. 1
2. A point Q moves from A to B along link 3 while link 2 rotates from θ2 300 to θ 2/ 1200
. Find the absolute displacement of Q.

3. Crank 2 of the push-link mechanism shown in the figure is driven at ω2 60 rad/s cw .
Find the velocities of points B and C and the angular velocities of links 3 and 4.
