- P1 00:00 A 650.00 F 420.00 P B 450.00 P2 A four-bar mechanism is given in the below figure. Link P₁A and P₂B are made by steel and have uniform cross sections. The PAB section, which is a right triangle, made by aluminium. Link P₁A has rotational velocity and acceleration of 8 rad/s and 20 rad/s² (both counterclockwise), respectively. There is a horizontal force at P of F= 200 N. Given G₂, G3 and G4 are the centre of mass of the links P₁A, PAB and P₂B, respectively. The masses of the links P₁A, PAB and P₂B are in turn m₂ = 1 kg: m3 = 2 kg and m4 = 1.2 kg. The moment of inertia of the links P1A, PAB and P₂B are in turn IG2 = 0.08 kgm²; IG3 = 0.15 kgm² and IG4 = 0.1 kgm².

- Given: A shaft rotates about a fixed vertical axis at a constant rate of f, as shown below. A straight bar OA, having a length of L, is pinned to point O on the shaft, with O being on the rotation axis of the shaft. At the instant when 80, bar OA is being raised at a rate of 6 from the horizontal plane, with this rate changing at a rate of . A set of ryz coordinate axes is attached to bar OA with its origin at O. A second set of coordinate axes, XYZ, are fixed to ground. At the instant when = 0, the zyz and XYZ axes are aligned with each other.

- Find the acceleration of the specified object. (Hint: Recall that if a variable is changing at a constant rate, its acceleration is zero.) A boat is pulled into a dock by means of a winch 16 feet above the deck of the boat (see figure). The winch pulls in rope at a rate of 7 feet per second. Find the acceleration of the boat when there is a total of 20 feet of rope out. (Round your answer to three decimal places.) ft/sec² Need Help? Read It Not drawn to scalearrow_forwardThe figure shows a closed-loop mechanism in which link AB of length 1m rotates about a fixed point at A. A second link BC, of length 3m, is pivoted to AB at B; the other end C is constrained to move in a fixed slot which in angled at 45 degrees to the horizontal. At the instance shown, AB is at 60 degrees to the horizontal, and rotating anticlockwise at 5 rad/s. At this instance, in what direction is the link BC rotating? You may wish to sketch a rough velocity vector diagram for this closed loop mechanism to assist you.

I know that q would be lambda and theta = 120 degrees. But we don't have any measure numbers for lambda, so I can't create a DCM using Principle Rotation Parameters. Would you do it using the Euler Angles method? If so, how?arrow_forward
