Velocity and Acceleration Numerical

This document contains 11 multi-part mechanics problems involving kinematic analysis of linkages and mechanisms. The problems involve calculating velocities, accelerations, and angular velocities and accelerations of various links and points in mechanisms under given configurations and motions. Specific quantities to be determined include the velocity and acceleration of points on four-bar linkages, sliders and followers in mechanisms, as well as the angular velocity and acceleration of rotating links. Analytical and graphical techniques can be used to solve the problems.

1. The engine mechanism shown in Fig. 1 has crank OB = 50 mm and length of connecting rod A B = 225 mm. The centre
of gravity of the rod is at G which is 75 mm from B. The engine speed is 200 r.p.m.

of the links are A B = 60 mm ; BC = CD = 70 mm ; D A = 120 mm. When angle DAB = 60° and both B and C lie on the
same side of A D, find 1. angular velocities (magnitude and direction) of BC and CD ; and 2. angular acceleration of BC
