Question 1 Explanation:

\begin{aligned} I_G&=2 \times (M \times r^2) \\&=2 \times 1 \times 0.4^2=0.32\; kg/m^2 \\ \Sigma F&=m\cdot a\\ &\Rightarrow 10-f=3.5 \times a\;...(i)\\ \Sigma T&=I\cdot \alpha \\ &\Rightarrow 10 \times 0.1 -f\times 0.4=0.32 \times \frac{a}{0.4} \;...(ii)\\ \end{aligned}
[As there is no slip \therefore \;\;a=r\alpha ]
Solving (i) and (ii),
\therefore \;\;a=5\; m/s^2

Question 5 Explanation:

For Crank-Rocker mechanism, shortest link must be crank and adjacent to fixed as well as Grashoff's law must be satisfied.
If l = 80 mm then shortest will be = 80 mm
as well as (80 + 600) \lt(400 + 300)
680 \lt 700
Therefore law is satisfied.
\Rightarrow l = 80 mm
