1. In a slider crank mechanism shown in Figure 5.9, the crank OA rotates clockwise
about O at 120 rpm. Find (i) The linear velocity of the slider B, (ii) the linear
velocity of point P located at distance of 8 cm on the connecting rod extended.
[Ans: 102 cm/s, 136 cm/s]
Figure 5.9
2. In Figure 5.10, the angular velocity of crank OA is 600 rpm. Determine the linear
velocity of the slider D and the angular velocity of the link BD, when the crank is
inclined at an angle of 75 to the vertical. The dimensions of the various links are :
OA = 28 mm, AB = 44 mm, BC = 49 mm, BD = 46 mm and the centre distance
between the centres of rotation O and C is 65 mm. Path of the travel of slider is 11
mm vertically below the fixed point C.
[Ans: 1.475m/s, 34.8 rad/s]

3. In the mechanism shown in Figure 5.23, O and Q are fixed centers. The crank OC
revolves at uniform speed of 120 rpm. Draw the velocity diagram and find the
velocity of C in the given configuration. Find the angular accelerations of links CP,
PA and AQ.
