B. The location of a point is defined by the equation R=( 4 t +2 ) e 30 ,where t is time in seconds. Motion of the point is
initiated when t=0. What is the displacement during the first 3 sec. Find the change in angular orientation of the
position vector during the same time interval.
2. A. Consider a sliding-block linkage in the posture illustrated in Fig. below. Perform the posture analysis; that is, find
θ4 and distance RAO4.
3. Plot the path of point P for: (a) inverted slider-crank linkage; (c) Scott-Russell straight-line linkage shown below:

5. In the mechanism shown below, link 4 is moving to the left at the rate of 0.6 ft/s (constant). Write the appropriate
vector equations, solve them using vector polygons, and determine the velocity and acceleration of point A3.
Link lengths: AB = 5 in, BC = 5 in.
6. For the double-slider linkage in the posture shown, the angular velocity of the input crank 2 is 42 rad/s cw. Find the
velocities of points B, C, and D.

constant 1 rad/sec.
