Sheet 4

The document provides 7 problems involving static force analysis of mechanisms. Each problem provides diagrams of mechanisms with labeled links and dimensions. External forces or torques are applied to the mechanisms. Students are asked to determine input torques or bearing forces required for static equilibrium based on the force and moment balances of each mechanism.

Static Force Analysis
1- For the static equilibrium of the quick-return mechanism shown in Fig. 1, determine the input torque
𝑇2 to be applied on the link AB for a force of 300 N on the slider D. The dimensions of the various
links are
OA = 400 mm, AB = 200 mm, OC = 800 mm, and CD = 300 mm.

2- For the static equilibrium of the mechanism shown in Fig. 2, find the torque to be applied on link
AB.

3- The four-link mechanism shown in Fig. 3 is subjected to the external forces as in table 1. Determine
the input shaft torque 𝑇2 on the input link AB for static equilibrium of the mechanism. Also, find the
forces on the bearings A, B, C and D.

4- In a four-link mechanism shown in Fig. 4, torques 𝑇3 and 𝑇4 have magnitudes of 30 𝑁. 𝑚 and


20 𝑁. 𝑚, respectively. The link lengths are AD = 800 mm, AB = 300 mm, BC = 700 mm, and CD =
400 mm. For the static equilibrium of the mechanism, determine the required input torque 𝑇2 .

5- The link lengths for the four-bar linkage of Fig. 5 are O1O3 = 70 mm, O1B = 30 mm, BC = 100 mm
and O3C = 50 mm. In the position shown, coupler link 2 is subjected to force of magnitude 47 N, and
follower link 3 is subjected to force of magnitude 30 N. Determine the shaft torque on input link 1
and the bearing loads for static equilibrium.

6- Fig. 6 shows a mechanism used to crush rocks. The 60 mm mechanism crank is moving slowly, and
inertial forces can be neglected. In the position shown, determine the torque required to drive the 60
mm crank and crush the rocks.

mm, QH = 300 mm. Determine the required shaft torque on the link 8 for static equilibrium against
an applied load of 400 N on link 3.
