Mechanics of Machines Page 174 EXERCISE 13:. ACCELERATION DIAGRAMS 1. In the mechanism shown, the crank AB is 75 mm long and rotates uniformly clockwise at 8 rad/s. Given that BD = DC = DE and BC = 300 mm, draw the velocity and acceleration diagrams. State the velocity and acceleration of the pistons at C and E. (Answer: ve=0.600/s; ve=0.187 Stals;as=4.1 6m/s?a=9. 06/5?) 2, Two links OA and QB tum about fixed parallel axes through © and Q. The ends A and B are pin-jointed to a connecting link AB. The lengths of the four links are: OA=50 mm; AB = 175 mm; BQ=100 mm; 0Q= 200 mm. OA tums at a uniform speed of 150 r/min. For the position of the mechanism in which A and B are on opposite sides of OQ and the angle AOQ is 30°, find the angular velocity and the angular acceleration of BQ. (Answer: 8.4 rad/s; 24.5 rad/s?) 3. In the figure, a bar ABC moves with points A and B guided along the OY and OX axes. AB= 275mm and BC= 175 mm. For the position shown in which A is 100 mm from 0, the velocity of A is 0.75 m/s away from O and the acceleration of A is 3.75 m/s? towards O. Find the angular velocity and angular acceleration of the bar and the velocity and acceleration of the point C. Show the directions of these on the diagram. (Answer: 2.93 rad/s; 11.3 rad/s’; 0.675 m/s; 2.98 m/s’) 4.1n the mechanism shown, the crank AB rotates in an anticlockwise direction at a uniform speed of 240 r/min. ‘The crank Jength AB= 100 mm while the lengths of BC and BD are 400mm and 500mm aL respectively. Determine, for the position shown, the instantaneous difference in the velocity of C ‘as compared with that of D and the instantaneous difference in the acceleration of C as compared with that of D, along their respective axes. (Answer: 0.54 mis; 35.5 m/s?)Mechanics of Machines Page 175 [Link] instantaneous position of a simple slider crank mechanism OAB is shown. At this instant, the velocity and acceleration of point B are both directed towards the left with magnitudes of 10 m/s and 800 m/s? respectively. OA—[Link] and AB= 04m, Using a graphical construction, determine: (@) The angular velocity of the crank OA, (6) The velocity of point A relative to point B in magnitude and direction, and (©) The absolute tangential component of acceleration of point A. For the same configuration and velocities of the mechanism, what acceleration of point B is needed in order to reduce the absolute tangential component of acceleration of point A to zero? (Answer: 120rad/s; 8.6m/s upwards at 80° to horizontal; 272m/s?; 1020m/s*) 6 The arm OQ, of length 3 m, rotates about a fixed point Q with a constant angular speed of 2 rad/s clockwise, as shown. At the same time, the circular disc, of radius 2 m, rotates about its centre O at an angular speed of 3 rad/s anticlockwise and at an angular acceleration of 6 rad/s? clockwise, both relative to OQ. The two motions occur in the same plane. Find the absolute acceleration, in magnitude and direction, of the point A on the periphery of the disc, given that the angle AOQ is 90° at the instant under consideration. (Answer: 18 mis? to the lefi)
