Critical Learning Outcomes
Upon completion of the lesson the students will be able to:
• Solve for Linear values of Displacement, Velocity or
Acceleration in either Absolute or Relative Terms.
• Define and Locate an Instantaneous Center of an Object or
Mechanism.
• Determine both Linear and Angular Velocities of Various
Mechanisms by means of Instantaneous Centers.
The material presented here has been taken from Walker, K. “Applied Mechanics for Engineering Technology”, 8th Edition
Plane Motion – Applications
Plane Motion
• What is Relative Motion?
Displacement
Velocity
Acceleration
Plane Motion
• What is absolute velocity?
VA = Velocity of A
VB = Velocity of B
• Equations:
VB = VA + VB/A
VA = VB + VA/B
Plane Motion
What is a plane motion?
Let us look at the relative
motion between two points
on the same object. This will
occur when an object
moves with general plane
motion: simultaneous
translation and rotation.
Plane Motion
• Plane Motion = Translation + Rotation
VA = VB + VA/B
This is a vector equation. There are three magnitudes and three directions,
out of which four of them must be known before the problem could be
solved.

Plane Motion - The Rolling Wheel
• If a wheel is rolled from one position
to another, it has both rotational and
translational motion.

ground
Also,
ω = ωAB, ωOA = ωOB = ωAB
ωAB = VA/B/AB

Practice Question
15.65 Linkage DBEF is part of a windshield wiper mechanism, where points
O, F, and D are fixed pin connections. At the position shown, θ= 30° and link
EB is horizontal. Knowing that link EF has a counterclockwise angular velocity
of 4 rad/s at the instant shown, determine the angular velocity of links EB
and DB. Note that 20 mm and 30 mm are the lengths of members EF and BD
respectively (errata).
