Machine Theory (MEC 310)

Assignment 1

Question 1: Draw a kinematic diagram of the mechanism of the backhoe which is shown in Figure 1.
Calculate degree of freedom of this mechanism [1]. (10 points)

FIGURE 1. Mechanism for Question 1 [1].

Question 2: The mechanism shown in Figure 2 is a common punch press designed to perform successive
stamping operations. The machine has just been powered and at the instant shown is coming up to full
speed. The driveshaft rotates clockwise with an angular velocity of 72 rad/s and accelerates at a rate of 250
rad/s2. At the instant shown, determine the acceleration of the stamping die, which will strike the workpiece
[1]. (30 points)

Question 3: At the instant when 𝜃 = 90° , the motor on the car wash sprayer in Figure 3 rotates
counterclockwise at 130 rpm and decelerates at 180 rad/s2. Use the relative acceleration method to
graphically determine the angular velocity and angular acceleration of the nozzle arm. (30 points)

Question 4: For the kinematic diagram shown in Figure 4, the angular velocity of link 2 is 20 rad/s
counterclockwise, and it is accelerating at a rate of 5 rad/s2. Graphically determine the angular velocity of
link 4, the sliding velocity of link 3 on link 4, and the angular acceleration of link 4. (30 points)
