Machines theory Problems:

1) For a Grashof crank- rocker 4-bar linkage shown, derive the formula to
determine the extreme values of the transmission angles.
2) Find the minimum and maximum values of the transmission angle for a
Grashof crank- rocker 4-bar linkage If a = 2; b = 7; c = 9; d = 6

Problem 2

4-bar slider-crank linkage shown if link 2, a = 1.4 in; link3, b = 4 in; offset e = 1 in
and θ2 = 45º draw the linkage to scale and find θ3 = ? and slider position d = ?
Problem 3

Vector loop Representation of linkages and complex number notation to find θ3

and θ4
