The crude-oil pumping rig shown is driven at 20 rpm. The inside diameter of the well pipe is 2 in., and the diameter of the pump rod is 0.75 in. The length of the pump rod and the length of the column of oil lifted during the stroke are essentially the same, and equal to 6000 ft. During the downward stroke, a valve at the lower end of the pump rod opens to let a quantity of oil into the well pipe, and the column of oil is then lifted to obtain a discharge into the connecting pipeline. Thus, the amount of oil pumped in a given time depends upon the stroke of the lower end of the pump rod. Knowing that the upper end of the rod at D is essentially sinusoidal with a stroke of 45 in. and the specific weight of crude 011 is 56.2 1b/ft3, determine (a) the output of the well in ft3/min if the shaft is rigid, (b) the output of the well in ft3/min if the stiffness of the rod is 2210 N/m, the equivalent mass of the oil and shaft is 290 kg, and damping is negligible.

- Unlike the common V6 engine, Subaru engines contain pistons that are horizontally opposed (see Wikipedia for more info). Luckily for us, this also makes for an interesting dynamics problem! At the instant shown, the crank arm's angular velocity is waB = 2,000 rpm (rotating clockwise) and the angle 0 = 40° with respect to the horizontal. Length of bar AB is r1 = 3 in. and the length of bar BD is r2 = 8 in. a) Clearly define coordinate systems for each link and write transformation arrays for each. b) Compute the velocity of point B in ft/s. Express your answer in rectangular coordinates. [Ans. to Check: 33.66 i– 40.11 j ft/sec] c) Determine the magnitude of the speed of the piston P in ft/s. Note: all answers should be positive since we only want to know the magnitude of the speed, not the direction (the piston can only move in the horizontal direction).

Notice that the track on the bulldozer (the tread that wraps around the wheels) is kinematically similar to the conveyor belt in the previous problem. D В E Suppose the person operating the bulldozer knows the distance between the two main wheels on the side of the vehicle. She looks out the window and, with the aid of a stopwatch, notices that the track is moving forward from her perspective at a constant speed v. Furthermore, as the bulldozer drives forward, the track does not slide or skid on the ground. In answering the sub-questions below, use the idea contained in Equation (2) and express answers in terms of basis (ê1, ê2). You may utilize results from Problem 3.
