Solution to Problem 3. (i) 1 Point. The number of links in the mechanism is four, therefore, the total number of instant centers for this mechanism is six; i.e.,

( 1) 5 x 4 102 2

n nN −= = = (1)

There are 6 primary instant centers; namely, I12, I15, I45, I23, I14, and I34. Therefore, there are 4 secondary instant centers; namely, I24, I25, I13, and I35. Note: The point of intersection of the line through I15I45 and the line through the contact point and perpendicular to the sliding direction is the instant center I14.

Substituting Equation (9b) and the radius of link 4 into Equation (12b), the first-order kinematic coefficient for link 4 is

4( 999.995 mm) 7.143 rad/rad

140 mmθ −′ = + = − (13)

The negative sign indicates that link 4 is rotating clockwise as the input link 2 rotates counterclockwise. (iii) 4 Points. The angular velocity of link 3 can be written as

3 3 2′ω = θ ω (14a) Substituting Equation (8) and the given angular velocity of the input link 2 into Equation (14a), the angular velocity of link 3 is

3 ( 2.165 rad / rad) ( 50 rad / s) 108.25 rad / sω = + = + (14b) The positive sign indicates that link 3 is rotating counterclockwise as the input link 2 rotates counterclockwise.

The angular velocity of link 4 can be written as

4 4 2′ω = θ ω (15a) Substituting Equation (13b) and the given angular velocity of the input link 2 into Equation (15a), the angular velocity of link 3 is

4 ( 7.143 rad / rad) (50 rad / s) 357.14 rad / sω = − = − (15b) The negative sign indicates that link 4 is rotating clockwise as the input link 2 rotates counterclockwise. (iv) 3 Points. The velocity of point B fixed in link 4 can be written as

B 9 2V R′= ω (16a) Substituting Equation (9b) and the given angular velocity of the input link 2 into Equation (16a), the velocity of point B is

BV ( 1.0 m / rad)(50 rad / s) 50 m / s= − = − (16b)

The negative sign indicates that the velocity of point B is directed downward from point B as the input link 2 rotates counterclockwise, that is

BV 50 j m / s= − (17)
