b) Grashofs law
c) Mechanism
d) Motion of a link
e) Velocity rubbing
f) Absolute and relative motion
SECTION B

1X6=6M
2. Sketch and describe the four bar mechanism along with various inversions of
mechanism?
(OR)
3. Sketch and explain the various inversions of double slider crank chain?
SECTION C
1X6=6M
4. Explain the velocity analysis of a four link mechanism also explain the velocity of
rubbing of four link mechanism?
(OR)
5. In a four link mechanism, the dimensions of the links are as under: AB=50mm,
BC=66mm, CD=56mm and AD=100mm at the instant when DAB=60 o, the link AB
has an angular velocity of 10.5rad/s in the counterclockwise direction. Determine (i)
the velocity of point C (ii)the velocity of a point E on the link BC when BE=40mm. (iii)
the angular velocities of the links BC and CD (iv) the velocity of an offset point F on
the link BC if BF=45mm, CF=30mm and BCF is read clockwise (v)the velocity of an
offset point G on the link CD if CG=24mm, DG=44mm and DCG is read clockwise (vi)
the velocities of rubbing at pins A,B,C and D. The radii of pins are 30, 40, 25 and
35mm respectively.
