Question 1 Explanation:

Number of links = 4
Number of I-centers 4c_2=6 \omega _2=5 \; rad/sec
\omega _4=?
For
\begin{aligned} V_{I_{24}}&=I_{12}I_{24}\omega _{2}=I_{14}I_{24}\omega_4\\ &=2 \times 5 =8 \times \omega_4\\ \omega_4&=1.25 \; rad/sec \end{aligned}
Question 2 |
A planar four-bar linkage mechanism with 3
revolute kinematic pairs and 1 prismatic kinematic
pair is shown in the figure, where AB\perp CE and FD\perp CE. The T-shaped link CDEF is constructed such
that the slider B can cross the point D, and CE is
sufficiently long. For the given lengths as shown,
the mechanism is


a Grashof chain with links AG, AB, and CDEF completely rotatable about the ground link FG | |
a non-Grashof chain with all oscillating links | |
a Grashof chain with AB completely rotatable about the ground link FG, and oscillatory links AG and CDEF | |
on the border of Grashof and non-Grashof chains with uncertain configuration(s) |
Question 2 Explanation:
The given mechanism is

As we know sliding pair is a special. Case of turning pair with infinite lengths limit. So the equivalent diagram would be. Since two parallel lines meets at infinite point O, 2O_2 are same.

l_1=3 cm shortest line,
l_2=5cm
l_3=l_{3(\infty )}=L_x+3 , longest link
l_4=l_{4(\infty )}=L_x+1.5
For Grashoff's rule to satisfy
l_1+l_3 \leq l_2 +l_4
3+L_x+3 \leq 5+L_x+1.5
6 \leq 6.5
LHS is less than RHS.
Hence, Grashoff's rule is satisfied in this mechanism. Since shortest link is fixed. It will be a double crank mechanism.

A rigid triangular body, PQR, with sides of equal length of 1 unit moves on a flat plane. At the instant shown, edge QR is parallel to the x-axis, and the body moves such that velocities of points P and R are V_P \; and \; V_R, in the x and y directions, respectively. The magnitude of the angular velocity of the body is


2V_R | |
2V_P | |
V_R/\sqrt{3} | |
V_P/\sqrt{3} |
Question 3 Explanation:
\begin{array}{l} \Rightarrow \mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{R}}=(\mathrm{IR}) \omega \\ \Rightarrow \omega=\frac{\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{R}}}{(\mathrm{IR})} \\ \Rightarrow \omega \times \frac{\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{R}}}{\frac{1}{2}} \\ \Rightarrow \omega=2 \mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{R}} \end{array}

In a four bar planar mechanism shown in the figure, AB = 5 cm, AD = 4 cm and DC = 2 cm. In the configuration shown, both AB and DC are perpendicular to AD. The bar AB rotates with an angular velocity of 10 rad/s. The magnitude of angular velocity (in rad/s) of bar DC at this instant is

Question 4 Explanation:
\begin{array}{l} \mathrm{AB}=5 \mathrm{cm} \\ \mathrm{AD}=4 \mathrm{cm} \\ \mathrm{DC}=2 \mathrm{cm} \\ \omega_{\mathrm{AB}}=10 \mathrm{rad} / \mathrm{s} \\ \because A \mathrm{B} \| \mathrm{DC} \\ \therefore A B \cdot \omega_{\mathrm{AB}}=\mathrm{DC} \cdot \omega_{\mathrm{DC}} \\ 5 \times 10=2 \times \omega_{\mathrm{DC}} \\ \omega_{\mathrm{DC}}=25 \mathrm{rad} / \mathrm{s} \end{array}

Question 5 Explanation:

After plotting I-centres

Here, I_{23} and I_{24} will come at same point
Applying angular Velocity Theorem at I_{24}
\begin{aligned} \therefore \quad \omega_{2}\left(I_{24} I_{12}\right) &=V_{4}=V_{B} \\ V_{B} &=\omega_{2}\left(I_{24} I_{12}\right)=10 \times 0.1 \\ \left(I_{24} I_{12}=100 \mathrm{mm}\right.&=0.1 \mathrm{m}=A B) \\ V_{B} &=1 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s} \end{aligned}
There are 5 questions to complete.
I think questions 1 diagram are not matchable
Thank you NAVEENKUMAR,
We have updated the figure.
10 the questions not understand plz anyone explain
Sorry 20th
In question no 36, I think the answer should be B, bcoz cam and follower is the mechanism with DOF 1 having 3 links with 2 lower pairs & 1 higher pair.
if in the problem they ask DOF 1 with lower pair only then minimum 4 links are required (from grablur’s eqn)
