Question 1 Explanation:

As Disc (Link 2) roll without slipping on Link 1 (surface) so their I-centre of rotation lies on point of contact to avoid relative motion in between them. So \mathrm{I}_{12} lies on point of contact.
Link 2 and 3 have instantaneous center of rotation at \mathrm{I}_{13} due to fixed surface of Link 1.
As per point Plies on link 2 and 3 both so, point P has same velocity for Link 2 and 3 both.
As per Kennedy's theorem, if three plane bodies have relative motion among themselves, their I-centre must lie on a straight line. So, \mathrm{I}_{23} must be on line joining \mathrm{I}_{13} and \mathrm{I}_{12} at point P.
By similar \triangle \mathrm{PI}_{12} \mathrm{~B} and \Delta \mathrm{Pl}_{13} \mathrm{~A}, we have
\frac{\mathrm{l}_{12} \mathrm{P}}{\mathrm{l}_{12} \mathrm{~B}}=\frac{\mathrm{Pl_{13 }}}{\mathrm{PA}}
or, \quad \frac{\mathrm{I}_{12} \mathrm{I}_{23}}{2}=\frac{\mathrm{I}_{23} \mathrm{l}_{13}}{8}
or, \mathrm{I}_{12} \mathrm{l}_{13}=0.25 \mathrm{I}_{23} \mathrm{l}_{13} \;\;\;...(i)
Velocity of point P is same w.r.t. all instantaneous rotation so,
\omega_{1} \times I_{12} I_{23}=\omega_{2} \times I_{23} l_{13}
By equation (i), we get
\omega_{2}=0.25 \omega_{1}

Question 2 Explanation:
K_{eq}=K+K=2K=2 \times 1000=2000 \mathrm{~N} / \mathrm{m}
\mathrm{m}=20 \mathrm{~kg}
So, \quad \omega_{n}=\sqrt{\frac{K_{\text {eq }}}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{2000}{20}}=10 \mathrm{rad} / \mathrm{sec}
So, \quad T_{n}=\frac{2 \pi}{\omega_{n}}=\frac{2 \pi}{10}
Time taken for 10 oscillations =10 \times T_{n}=10 \times \frac{2 \pi}{\omega_{n}}=10 \times \frac{2 \pi}{10}=6.28 \mathrm{sec}
\mathrm{m}=20 \mathrm{~kg}
So, \quad \omega_{n}=\sqrt{\frac{K_{\text {eq }}}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{2000}{20}}=10 \mathrm{rad} / \mathrm{sec}
So, \quad T_{n}=\frac{2 \pi}{\omega_{n}}=\frac{2 \pi}{10}
Time taken for 10 oscillations =10 \times T_{n}=10 \times \frac{2 \pi}{\omega_{n}}=10 \times \frac{2 \pi}{10}=6.28 \mathrm{sec}

Question 3 Explanation:

Given
R+r=30 \quad \text {...(i) }
\frac{T_{1}}{T_{2}}=\frac{1}{4} ; \quad where T= no. of teeth
or \mathrm{T}_{2}=4 \mathrm{T}_{1}
Diametrical pitch =\frac{8 \text { teeth }}{\mathrm{mm}}=\frac{\mathrm{T}}{\mathrm{D}}=\mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{d}}
and m=\frac{D}{T}=\frac{1}{P_{d}}
As, \begin{aligned} r & =\frac{m T}{2} \\ R & =\frac{m T_{2}}{2}, r=\frac{m T_{1}}{2} \end{aligned}
by equation (i) we have
\frac{m T_{2}}{2}+\frac{m T_{1}}{2}=30
or, \frac{m}{2}\left(T_{1}+T_{2}\right)=30
or, \frac{1}{8 \times 2}\left(T_{1}+T_{2}\right)=30
As \mathrm{T}_{2}=4 \mathrm{T}_{1}
So, \frac{1}{16}\left(T_{1}+4 T_{1}\right)=30
or \sigma_{1}=\frac{30 \times 16}{5}=96

Question 5 Explanation:
FBD of mass

m\ddot{x}+c\dot{x}+kx=F(t)
Solution of differential equation
x(t) = (C.F) + (P.I)
Considering condition (P)
If C > 0 and \omega =\sqrt{k/m}
For this condition the displacement (x) is given by
[Assume the system to be under damped]
x(t)=X_0e^{-\zeta \omega _nt} \cos (\omega _dt -\phi )+ X \cos (\omega t-\phi )
Transient response + steady state response
As t\rightarrow \infty the transient response decays to zero and only steady state response will remain
x(t)=X \cos (\omega t-\phi )
For this condition the response curve will be

Considering condition (Q)
c \gt 0 \text{ and } \omega \neq 0
The differential equation becomes
m\ddot{x}-c\dot{x}+kx=F(t)
Solution of above differential equation is
x(t)=X_0e^{+c_1t} \cos (\omega _dt -\phi )+ X \cos (\omega t-\phi )
As t\rightarrow \infty the transient response approaches to \infty and increases exponentially
The plot will be

Considering condition (R)
C=0,\omega =\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}} \;\;(Resonance)
The differential equation is
m\ddot{x}+kx=F(t)

x(t)=x_o \cos \omega _nt+\frac{\dot{x_0}}{\omega _n} \sin \omega _n t+\underbrace{\frac{x_{static}\omega _nt}{2} \sin (\omega _n t)}_{\text{Incraeses with time linearly}}
So the correct plot will be

Considering condition (S)
C=0,\omega \cong \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}
If the force frequency is close to, but not exactly equal to, natural frequency of the system, a phenomenon is known as beating. In this kind of vibration the amplitude buils up and then diminishes in a regular pattern.
The displacement can be expressed as
x(t)=\left ( \frac{B}{m} \right )\left [ \frac{\cos \omega t- \cos \omega _n t}{\omega _n^2-\omega } \right ]
The correct plot will be
