Velocity Analysis

1. The diameter of a four bar chain shown in fig below are: AD =

BC = 120mm. AB = 30mm and CD = 60mm. The crank AB
rotates at 100 rpm. Determine the angular speed of link CD.

2. The dimensions of the various links of the mechanism shown

in the fig below are: AD = DE =150mm, BC = CD = 450mm,
EF = 375mm. The crank AB rotates at 120 rpm. The lever DC
oscillates about a fixed point D. Determine (a) velocity of
slider F and (b) angular speed of CD.

3. In the mechanism shown below the piston D moves in the

vertical direction upwards with a velocity of 5m/s. O1A =
7.5mm, O1O2 = 30cm, AB = 25cm, O2C = O2B = 10cm, CD =
25 cm and BC = 12.5 cm. Find the speed in rpm and direction
of rotation of crank O1A.

 4. The quick-return motion mechanism of the crank and slotted
lever type shaping machine is shown in the fig below.
a. O1O2 = 800mm, O1B = 300mm, O2D = 1300mm, DR =
400mm
The crank O1B makes an angle of 45o with the vertical and
rotates at 40 rpm in the counter-clockwise direction. Find:(a)
velocity of ram R, and (b) angular velocity of link O2D

5. Using instantaneous centre method, find the angular velocity

of BC, and velocity of C and E in the mechanism shown below.
Link AB revolves at 30 rpm clockwise. AB = 0.5m, BC =
1.75m, CD = 1.5m, AD = 2m, and BE = 0.75m

 6. In the mechanism shown in fig.6, the crank O1A rotates at a
uniform speed of 650 rpm. Determine the linear velocity of
slider C and angular speed of the link BC. O1A = 30mm, AB =
50mm, O2B = 65mm and O1O2 = 70mm

7. The crank and slotted lever mechanism is shown in the fig.7.

OA = 200mm, AB = 100mm, OC = 400mm, and CD = 300mm.
The crank AB rotates at 75 rpm. Determine (a) velocity of ram,
and (b) angular speed of slotted lever OC.

 8. Find the velocity of point C in the mechanism shown in fig.8 by
using relative velocity method. Crank O1A rotates at 20 rad/s
clockwise. O1O2 = 350mm, O1A = 140mm, AB = 250mm, O2B
= 210mm, BC = 100mm and AC = 160mm.
