  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum

    AB = √(240)² + (160 − 60)²
    = 260 mm
    = = lAO2 + lO2O4 < lAB + lBO4
    = and O2O4 is fixed link. It will act as a crank-rocker mechanism

    Correct Option: B

    VA = O'A × ω
    1 = 1 cos 60° × ω
    ω = 2 rad/s

    Correct Option: A


    VA = O'A × ω
    1 = 1 cos 60° × ω
    ω = 2 rad/s



  1. Figure shows a quick return mechanism. The cranks OA rotates clockwise uniformly. OA = 2 cm, OO' = 4 cm. The ratio of time for forward motion to that for return motion is

    Ratio of time of forward motion to return motion

    =
    180 + 2α
    =
    180 + 60
    =
    240
    = 2
    180 − 2α180 − 60120

    (Given OD = 2 cm, OO ' = 4 cm, sin α = 2/4 = 0.5 ⇒ α = 30°)

    Correct Option: B

    Ratio of time of forward motion to return motion

    =
    180 + 2α
    =
    180 + 60
    =
    240
    = 2
    180 − 2α180 − 60120

    (Given OD = 2 cm, OO ' = 4 cm, sin α = 2/4 = 0.5 ⇒ α = 30°)
