(i) Explain the inversions of four bar chain, with neat sketches. (ii) Explain with neat sketches the following: (1) Offset slider mechanism, (2) An Indexing mechanism.

(2x 16 = 32)

(8) (8).

13. (i) Explain the inversions of single slider crank chains, with neat sketches. (10) (ii) Explain mechanical advantage and transmission angle related to four-bar mechanisms. (6) (OR) 14. (i) Illustrate a crank and slotted lever mechanism as an inversion of single slider crank chain. Deduce an expression for length of stroke in terms of link lengths. (8) (ii) Design a four-bar crank rocker quick return mechanism to give a time ratio of 1.25 with rocker swing angle as 75 clockwise. Assume the output link (rocker) length as 50 mm and in the left extreme position it is vertical. (8)
