The angular acceleration of link AB is found to be 546 m/s^2. 2. A four bar linkage is shown with specified link lengths and the crank PQ rotating at 10 rad/s. When the angle QPS is 60 degrees, velocity and acceleration diagrams are drawn to find the angular velocity and acceleration of links QR and RS. 3. Acceleration analysis procedures like determining velocities and drawing velocity/acceleration diagrams are demonstrated to solve for accelerations and

Problem 1
• An engine mechanism is shown in figure. The crank CB = 100 mm and the
connecting rod BA = 300 mm with centre of gravity G, 100 mm from B. In
the position shown, the crankshaft has a speed of 75 rad/s and an angular
acceleration of α = 1200 rad/s2.
• Find: 1. Acceleration of G
2. angular acceleration of AB.
Find velocity of Crank BC
• ω = 75 rad/s
• v BC = ω x BC = 75 x 0.1 = 7.5 m/s
Draw Velocity Diagram
• Scale for velocity diagram : 1m/s = 1cm
1. vAB = vector ab = 4 m/s
2. vA = vector ca
3. vG = vector cg = 6.8 m/s
Find velocity of all Links and radial

Problem 2
• PQRS is a four bar chain with link PS fixed. The lengths of the
links are PQ = 62.5 mm ; QR = 175 mm ; RS = 112.5 mm ; and
PS = 200 mm. The crank PQ rotates at 10 rad/s clockwise.
Draw the velocity and acceleration diagram when angle QPS =
60° and Q and R lie on the same side of PS. Find the angular
velocity and angular acceleration of links QR and RS.
