Exercise 2

This document contains a tutorial assignment for a Mechanics of Machines course. It includes 15 problems for designing different mechanisms to produce various types of motion, including: 1) A double slider mechanism to draw an ellipse 2) A slider mechanism to produce a stroke with a quick return ratio 3) An aligned quick return mechanism to produce an oscillating angle 4) A mechanism to produce harmonic motion 5) Finding unknown link dimensions for different linkage types 6) Designing four-bar mechanisms for various oscillating and rotating motions Students are asked to design linkages that will move objects between specified positions or angles in certain time ratios. All problems involve calculating linkage dimensions.
