Kom It Ii

This document appears to be an exam for a class on kinematics of machinery. It contains two parts: Part A consists of 10 short answer questions testing definitions and concepts related to instantaneous centers of rotation, cam profiles, and velocity/acceleration analysis. Part B contains two multi-part problems asking students to analyze cam and linkage mechanisms, including sketching cam profiles, calculating velocities, accelerations, and dimensions based on given motion criteria and specifications. The problems reference concepts covered in the earlier questions.
