Point allocations are listed for each question. The points sum to 100. This exam counts as 15% of your total grade. 1. (15 points) The mechanism to the right is from patent # 8,038,096 “Aircraft Landing Gear Assembly” and various kinematic diagrams representing versions of the device are shown along with the questions below. a. (5 points) Assuming hydraulic cylinders 18 and 4 are held at a fixed length, as in kinematic diagram (a), how many degrees of freedom does the mechanism possess? Explain your reasoning.

(15 points) Your goal is to design a four bar mechanism that can move the mallet through the three positions indicated, {O & (10 points) Use three position synthesis to create a mechanisms using the connection points indicated on the figure below and labeled A and B. Sketch the position of the links when the mallet is in the lowest position. b. G points) Comment on the ability of this design to accomplish approximately g vertical, translational motion (zero or minimal rotation) of the mallet as it approaches the lowest position. Draw (on the lowest position of the mallet) velocity vectors of points A and B that would be consistent with such motion.
