  1. A slider crank mechanism has slider mass of 10 kg, stroke of 0.2 m and rotates with a uniform angular velocity of 10 rad/s. The primary inertia forces of the slider are partially balanced by a revolving mass of 6 kg at the crank, placed at a distance equal to crank radius. Neglect the mass of connecting rod and crank. When the crank angle (with respect to slider axis) is 30°, the unbalanced force (in newton) normal to the slider axis is __________.

    Now m= 6kg
    F = mr (102) sin θ
    = 6 × 0.1 × 100 × sin 30° = 30 N

    Correct Option: A

    Mechanical advantages

    =
    Load (output force)
    Effort (input force)

    For a four bar linkage in toggle position, effort = 0
    ∴ Mechanical Advantage = ∞

    Velocity of link 1 with respect to link 2,
    V½ = 12 m/s

    ω =
    2πN
    =
    2π × 120
    = 4π

    ∴ Corioli’s component of acceleration

    = 2V½ω = 2 × 12 × 4π
    = 301.59 ≈ 302 m/s2

  1. The circular disc shown in its plan view in the figure rotates in a plane parallel to the horizontal plane about the point O at a uniform angular velocity ω. Two other points A and B are located on the line OZ at distances rA and rB from O respectively.

    The acceleration of point B with respect to point A is a vector of magnitude

    Acceleration of point B with respect to point A
    αB/A = ω × υB/A
    = ω × ω (rB - rA)
    = ω2 (rB - rA)
    and direction from Z to O.

    Correct Option: D

    Acceleration of point B with respect to point A
    αB/A = ω × υB/A
    = ω × ω (rB - rA)
    = ω2 (rB - rA)
    and direction from Z to O.



  1. A four bar mechanism is shown in the figure. The link numbers are mentioned near the links. Input link 2 is rotating anticlockwise with a constant angular speed ω2. Length of different links are
    O2O4 = O2 A = L,
    AB = O4 B = 2 L
    The magnitude of the angular speed of the output link 4 is ω4 at the instant when link 2 makes an angle of 90° with O2O4 as shown. The ratio
    ω4
    is
    ω2
