Velocity and acceleration analysis

Date: 27/2/2025 ----Submission date: 08/3/2025

1. Locate all the instantaneous centres for a four-bar mechanism as shown in Fig 1. The lengths
of various links are: AD = 125 mm; AB = 62.5 mm; BC = CD = 75 mm. If the link AB rotates
at a uniform speed of 10 r.p.m. in the clockwise direction, find the angular velocity of the
links and CD using IC method.

2. A mechanism, as shown in Fig2, has the following dimensions: O1 A = 60 mm ; AB = 180


mm ; O2 B = 100 mm ; O2 C = 180 mm and CD = 270 mm. The crank O1 A rotates
clockwise at a uniform speed of 120 r.p.m. The block D moves in vertical guides. Find, by
instantaneous centre method, the velocity of D and the angular velocity of CD.

3 The lengths of various links of a mechanism, as shown in Fig.3 are : OA = 0.3 m ; AB = 1 m ; CD =


0.8 m ; and AC = CB. Determine, for the given configuration, the velocity of the slider D if the crank
OA rotates at 80 r.p.m.in the clockwise direction. Also find the angular velocity of the link CD. Use
instantaneous centre method.

4.In a four bar chain ABCD , link AD is fixed and the crank AB rotates at 10 radians per
second clockwise. Lengths of the links are AB = 60 mm ; BC = CD = 70 mm ; DA = 120 mm.
When angle DAB = 60° and both B and C lie on the same side of AD, find 1. angular
velocities (magnitude and direction) of BC and CD ; and 2. angular acceleration of BC and
CD.

5. In a mechanism as shown in Fig. 4 , the link AB rotates with a uniform angular velocity of
40 rad/s. The lengths of various links are : AB = 100 mm ; BC = 300 mm ; BD = 150 mm ;
DE = 250 mm ; EF = 200 mm ; DG = 165 mm. Determine the velocity and acceleration of G
for the given configuration using relative velocity method.

6. Explain how does coriolis component of acceleration arise, when a point is rotating about
some other fixed point and at the same time its distance from the fixed point varies.

7. Sketch a quick return motion of the crank and slotted lever type and explain the procedure
of drawing the velocity and acceleration diagram, for any given configuration of the
mechanism.

8. State and explain Kenedy rule of Instantaneous center.
