5/195 In the linkage shown OC has a constant clockwise

angular velocity 2 rad/s during an interval of
motion, while the hydraulic cylinder gives pin A a
constant velocity of 1.2 m/s to the right. For the position shown where OC is vertical and BC is horizontal, calculate the angular velocity of BC. Solve
by drawing the necessary velocity polygon.

5/197 The hydraulic cylinder C imparts a velocity v to pin

B in the direction shown. The collar slips freely on
rod OA. Determine the resulting angular velocity of
rod OA in terms of v, the displacement s of pin B,
and the fixed distance d, for the angle 15.

Problem 5/195

5/196 To speed up the unrolling of a telephone cable the

trailer with the reel of cable starts from rest and is
given an initial acceleration of 3 ft/sec2. Simultaneously, the tow truck pulls the free end of the cable
horizontally in the opposite direction with an initial acceleration of 2 ft/sec2. If both vehicles start
from rest at the same instant, determine the magnitude of the total acceleration of point A on the
forward end of the horizontal reel diameter (a) just
as the motion starts and (b) one second after the
start of the motion.

Problem 5/197

5/198 The figure illustrates a commonly used quickreturn mechanism which produces a slow cutting
stroke of the tool (attached to D) and a rapid return
stroke. If the driving crank OA is turning at the
constant rate 3 rad/s, determine the magnitude
of the velocity of point B for the instant when
30.
