After studying & solving this exercise students will be able to:

Differentiate between absolute velocity and relative velocity.

Learn the procedure to draw the velocity diagrams.
Draw velocity diagram from configuration diagram and find required solution
to problem.
PQRS is a four bar chain mechanism as shown in figure below, with link
PS fixed. Length of links are PQ = 62.5mm, QR = 175mm, RS = 112.5mm and PS =
200mm. Crank PQ rotates at 10rad/sec clockwise. By relative velocity method,
draw velocity diagram when QPS = 60 degrees while Q and R lie on the same plane
of PS. Find angular velocity of links QR and RS.

The crank of a slider crank mechanism rotates clockwise at a constant

speed of 300 rpm. The crank is 150mm and connecting rod is 600mm long.
Determine (a) Linear velocity of midpoint of connecting rod and (b) angular velocity
of connecting rod, at a crank angle of 45 degrees from the inner dead centre
position as shown in figure below.
