Sheet 2 Part 2

This document contains 17 problems related to determining velocities, accelerations, and angular accelerations in various mechanical linkage systems. The problems involve mechanisms like rotary engines, quick-return mechanisms, Whitworth quick returns, swiveling joints, Scotch yokes, and other linkage configurations. Diagrams of each mechanism are provided along with key dimensional parameters and input rotational speeds or accelerations. Students are asked to calculate requested accelerations, velocities, or angular accelerations based on the kinematic relationships and motion analysis of each specific mechanism.

Velocity and Acceleration in Mechanisms
11- The kinematic diagram of one of the cylinders of a rotary engine is shown in Fig. 11. The crank OA
which is vertical and fixed, is 50 mm long. The length of the connecting rod AB is 125 mm. The line
of the stroke OB is inclined at 50° to the vertical. The cylinders are rotating at a uniform speed of
300 rpm., in a clockwise direction, about the fixed center O.
Determine:
i. acceleration of the piston inside the cylinder, and
ii. angular acceleration of the connecting rod.

12- In The driving crank AB of the quick-return mechanism, as shown in Fig. 12, revolves at a uniform
speed of 200 rpm. Find the velocity and acceleration of the tool-box R, in the position shown, when
the crank makes an angle of 60° with the vertical line of centers PA. What is the acceleration of
sliding of the block at B along the slotted lever PQ?

13- Figure 2 In a Whitworth quick return motion, as shown in Fig. 13. OA is a crank rotating at 30 rpm
in a clockwise direction. The dimensions of various links are: OA = 150 mm; OC = 100 mm; CD =
125 mm; and DR = 500 mm. Determine the acceleration of the sliding block R and the angular
acceleration of the slotted lever CA.
