Mechanics of Machines Lab: Online Session # 5

The document provides definitions and concepts related to velocity and discusses drawing a velocity-time graph for a slotted link mechanism. It defines velocity as displacement over time and discusses the concepts of uniform, average, and instantaneous velocity. The procedure involves collecting angular displacement, linear displacement, and time data for a slotted link mechanism and using that data to calculate velocities and plot a velocity-time graph.

To Draw Velocity-Time Graph for Slotted Link Mechanism

Definitions of Velocity

Definition Level of Rigor


Velocity is the ratio of displacement to time.
𝑆
𝑣= More Rigorous, Less Simplified
𝑡

This definition is also known as Uniform or


Constant Velocity.
If an object moves from S1 to S2 in time t1 to t2,
then the ratio of change in displacement to change
in time is called velocity.
𝑆2 − 𝑆1 ∆𝑆
𝑣= =
𝑡2 − 𝑡1 ∆𝑡

This definition is also known as Average Velocity.


An object moves from S1 to S2 in time t1 to t2. We
shorten the time interval t=t2-t1 so that it is near
to zero but not equal to zero. It is also called as
“time approaches zero”. Now, the ratio of change
in displacement to change in time is called
velocity.

∆𝑆
𝑣 = lim
∆𝑡→0 ∆𝑡

This definition is also known as Instantaneous


Velocity.
Derivative of displacement with respect to time is
called velocity.
𝑑𝑆
𝑣=
𝑑𝑡

This definition is also known as Instantaneous


Velocity.
Concept of Tangent and Slope

At a point of a graph, derivative is slope of tangent at that point. So, at any point on S-t graph, velocity is
the slope of tangent at that point.

A (t1, S1)

B (t2, S2)

Slope = Velocity = Rise /Run = S2-S1/t2-t1

ω= θrad/t
t= θrad/ ω; angular velocity is assumed to be 25 rad/s

θrad = θdeg x π/180
