One of the most common mechanisms is the slider crank. Express the angular velocity 𝜔𝐴𝐵 and
angular acceleration 𝛼𝐴𝐵 of the connecting rod AB when the crank angle 𝜃 = 60𝑜 for a given
constant crank speed 𝜔0 , using relative velocity of the links.
Question 2
The drum A is given a constant angular acceleration 𝛼0 of 3 𝑟𝑎𝑑/𝑠 2 and causes the 70-kg spool B to
roll on the horizontal surface by means of the connecting cable, which wraps around the inner hub of
the spool. The radius of gyration of the spool about its mass center G is 250 mm, and the coefficient
of static friction between the spool and the horizontal surface is 0.25. Deter mine the tension Tin the
cable and the friction force F exerted by the horizontal surface on the spool.
Question 3
A 75-g projectile traveling at 600 m/s strikes and becomes embedded in the 50-kg block, which is
initially stationary. Compute the energy lost during the impact. Express your answer as an absolute
value E and as a percentage n of the original system energy E.
Question 4
Following Figure shows a system to be released from rest. For the coefficients of friction μs = 0.2 and
μk = 0.2, calculate the acceleration of each body and the tension T in the cable. Neglect the mass and
friction of the pulleys.

Question 5
The flywheel rotates clockwise as shown in Figure 3 with a constant speed of 600 rev/min. A connecting
rod AB is connected at A and slides through the pivoted collar at C. For the position θ = 45º, determine
the angular velocity 𝜔𝐴𝐵 of the link AB using relative motion.
Question 6
A disk rolls on a horizontal surface without slipping as shown in Figure 4. The centre O of the disk has
velocity and accelerations as shown. Determine the velocity of A and the velocity of B for this instant.
Use ICR.
The wheel is rigidly attached to gear A, which is in mesh with gear racks D and E. If the racks have a
velocity of 𝑉𝐷 = 6 ft/s and 𝑉𝐸 = 10 ft/s, show that it is necessary for the wheel to slip on the fixed track
C. Also find the angular velocity of the gear and the velocity of its center O.
