2. A v-belt speed reduction drive is shown where pulley A drives the two integral pulleys B which in turn drive pulley
C. If A starts from rest at time t=0 and is given a constant angular acceleration 𝛼1 , drive expressions for the angular
velocities of C and the magnitude of the acceleration of a point P on the belt, both at time t.
3. The telescoping link is hinged at o, and its end A is given a constant upward velocity of 200mm/s by the piston rod
of the fixed hydraulic cylinder B. calculate the angular velocity and the angular acceleration of link OA for the
instant when y = 600mm.
4. The hydraulic cylinder C gives end A of link AB a constant velocity Vo in the negative x-direction. Determine
expression for the angular velocity and angular acceleration of the link in terms of x.
5. The circular disc rolls without slipping with a clockwise angular velocity 𝜔=4rad/s. For the instant represented
write the vector expressions for the velocity of A with respect to B and for the velocity of P.
6. The power screw turns at a speed that gives the threads collar C a velocity of 0.25m/s vertically down. Determine
the angular velocity of the slotted arm when 𝜃=300
7. Rod CB slides through the pivoted collar attached to link OA. If CB has a clockwise angular velocity of 2rad/s,
determine the angular velocity 𝜔OA of link OA when 𝜃=600.
8. Determine the angular acceleration of link AB and the linear acceleration of A for 𝜃=900 if 𝜃̇ = 0 and 𝜃̈ =
3𝑟𝑎𝑑/𝑠 at the position. Carry out your solution using vector notation.
9. Calculate the angular acceleration of the plate in the position shown where control link AO has a constant angular
velocity 𝜔OA=4rad/s and 𝜃=600 for both links.
10. For the instant when 𝜃 = 𝛽=600, the hydraulic cylinder gives A a velocity VA=1.2m/s which is increasingly by
0.9m/s each second. For this instant determine the angular acceleration of link BC.
11. Motion of link ABC is controlled by the horizontal movement of the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder D and by
the vertical guide for the pinned slider at B. For the instant when 𝜃=450 the piston rod is retracting at the constant
rate vc=180mm/s. Determine the acceleration of point A for this instant.
