1. Figure 1 shows a 6-bar mechanism that you have seen in HW Set no. 2. For this set, determine
the accelerations of points A, B, and C, AA, AB, and AC, as well as the angular accelerations of
links 3, 4, and 5, 3, 4, dan 5 by using the velocity polygon method, if link 2 rotates at a
constant angular velocity, 2 = 10 rad/s counterclockwise ! Hint: You need to redo the Velocity
Analysis already done in HW set # 3.

2. Figure 3 depicts a quick-return mechanism. For this

mechanism:
a. Perform velocity analysis to obtain angular
velocities of links 3, and 4, 3, and 4 and
the velocity of the tool (slider 5), V5 ! Link 2
rotates with an angular velocity, 2 = 20
rad/s (clockwise). (already done in HW set #3).
b. Next, perform acceleration analysis to obtain
angular acceleratins of links 3, and 4, 3, and
4 and the acceleration of the tool (slider 5),
A5

3. Figure 3 shows a kinematic diagram of yet another quick-return mechanism. For this
mechanism, if link 2 rotates at an angular velocity, n2 = 3600 rpm (clockwise), and acceleration, 2
= 20 rad/s2, determine the acceleration of slider 6 (AC), and angular accelerations of links 4 and 5,
4 and 5.

4. Figure 4 shows a kinematic diagram of a cam-follower mechanism. For this mechanism, if link 2
rotates at a constant angular velocity, 2 = 10 rad/sec (counterclockwise), determine:
a. the angular velocity of link 4, 4.
b. the angular acceleration of link 4, 4.
