The pin A slides in the slot when the disc is rotated. (a) Calculate the angular velocity and acceleration of link BC when = 60o and = 100 rad/s. ( is 21.052o at this position) (b) The link BC has a mass of 0.8 kg distributed along the length and a mass of 0.4 kg at C. In addition of vertical force of 20 N acts at C. Calculate the torque input to the disc at the instant shown. The moment of inertia of a uniform rod about its centre of gravity is ml2/12 (a) The tangential velocity of A relative to O is R = 100 x 0.04 = 4 m/s. The velocity diagram is constructed as shown. The tangential velocity of pin A relative to B is (VA1)B = a a1 = 4 cos (38.95o) = 3.11 m/s The radial velocity of A relative to B is (VA)B = 4 sin(38.95o) = 2.515 m/s The length of BA is easily calculated from the diagram. BA = (34.642 + 902) = 96.44 mm The angular velocity link BC = 3.11/BA = 32.2 rad/s (This checks with a computer solution) ANALYTICAL METHOD The angle of link BC is
sin 40sin = tan 1 = tan 1 7/4 + cos 70 + 40 cos The angular velocity is d/dt and the tools for doing the differentiation are given in the question as follows. 1 1 dx 1 + 7/4cos sin d = = Let x = = 2 2 d (7/4 + cos )2 7/4 + cos dx 1 + x sin 1+ 7/4 + cos d d dx 1 1 + 7/4cos = = put = 60o and evaluate 2 2 dt dx d sin (7/4 + cos ) 1+ 7/4 + cos d/d = 0.316 = t so d = dt before. dt = d/ so d/dt = 0.316 x = 31.6 rad/s which is close to the answer found
Next construct the acceleration diagram. Link O A only has centripetal acceleration inwards (aA)O = 2 R = 1002 x 0.04 = 400 m/s2 The pin A has a tangential acceleration and Coriolis acceleration normal to the link. It has centripetal acceleration and radial acceleration towards the centre of rotation. B. The diagram can be constructed without calculating them. The Corioilis acceleration is 2 v where = 32.2 and v is the radial velocity = 2.515 m/s The Coriolis term is hence 161.97 m/s2 The tangential acceleration of A relative to B is a1 a = 400 sin 38.95 = 251.46 m/s2 Part of this is the Coriolis so the tangential acceleration is 251.46 - 161.97 = 89.49 m/s2 The angular acceleration of link AC is = 89.49 /BA = 89.49/0.09644 = 928 rad/s2 The direction is negative (clockwise) so it is decelerating. (This answer checks out with the computer answer but I would not attempt a second integration) (b) Calculate the force acting on the pin normal to the link BC. Take the centre of gravity at the mid point. J (link) = 0.8 x 0.182/12 = 0.00216 kg m2 about the centre of gravity which is 90 mm from B. About point B, J(link) = 0.00216 + 0.8 x 0.092 = 0.00864 kg m2 (or ml2/3 = 0.00864). The mass at point C produces a moment of inertia at B of 0.4 x 0.182 = 0.01296 kg m2 The total about C is J = 0.00864 + 0.01296 = 0.0216 kg m2 The torque needed on the link to accelerate it is T = J d/dt = 0.0216 x (-928) = -20 Nm In addition a torque is needed to overcome the 20 N. The component of the 20 N acting normal to B C is 20 sin 21.05o = 7.184 N acting at 0.18 m from B. The torque required on the link is T =7.184 x 0.18 = 1.293 Nm Total torque required about B is T = -20 + 1.293 = -18.7 Nm The pin A exerts a force at radius of 96.44 mm. F = T/AB =-18.7/0.09644 = -194 N Now resolve this force normal to OA and get F = -194 cos 38.95o = -150.8 N The torque required on disc C about O is T = -150.8 x 0.04 = -6.03 Nm
