Tutorial Questions
1. Find the force exerted by the piston of the shown crank slider mechanism in the given
position graphically. The torque supplied by the crank shaft is equal to 50 N.m cw. Find
the reaction at the supports neglecting the effect of the mass of the connecting rod.
Given data:
m2 = 5 kg m4= 0.5 kg
I2 = 0.4 kg.m2 I4 = 0.05 kg.m2
CG2 = (0,0) CG4 is at the wrist joint of the slider

Coupler link 2 weighs 1.2 lb and has a mass moment of inertia about center of mass, equal
to0.03 lb. s 2 . Follower link 3 weighs 1.0 lb and has a mass moment of inertia about its
center of mass, equal to Determine all bearing forces and instantaneous input torque by
a graphical solution.
4. Determine the magnitude and location of the equivalent offset inertial force for the con-
necting rod, link 2, of the slider-crank mechanism for the position shown in the figure.
The crank has a constant angular velocity of 100 rad/s counterclockwise. The mass of the
connecting rod is 0.2 kg, and the moment of inertia about the center of mass, is 300 kg
.mm2. Also, determine the crank torque required for dynamic equilibrium at the position
shown.
