1. A toggle mechanism is shown in Fig.1 The crank rotates at 50 rpm in the

clockwise direction. Find the velocity and acceleration of slider also find angular
velocity &angular acceleration of link BC.

2. A shaft carries four masses in parallel planes A, B, C and D in this order along its
length. The masses at B and C are 20 kg and 15 kg respectively, and each has an
eccentricity of 60 mm. The masses at A and D have an eccentricity of 80 mm. The
angle between the masses at B and C is 100 and that between the masses at B and
A is 190, both being measured in the same direction. The axial distance between
the planes A and B is 100 mm and that between B and C is 200 mm. If the shaft is
in complete dynamic balance, determine:
a. the magnitude of the masses at A and D,
b. the distance between planes A and D, and
c. the angular position of the mass at D [15]

3. A flat faced mushroom follower is operated by a uniformly rotating cam. The

follower is raised through a distance of 25 mm in 120 rotation of the cam,
remains at rest for the next 30 and is lowered during further 120 rotation of the
cam. The raising of the follower takes place with cycloidal motion and the
lowering with uniform acceleration and deceleration. However, the uniform
acceleration is 2/3 of the uniform deceleration. The least radius of the cam is 25
mm which rotates at 300 rpm. Draw the cam profile and determine the values of
the maximum velocity and maximum acceleration during rising and maximum
velocity and uniform acceleration and deceleration during lowering of the
follower. [20]
