VELOCITY ANALYSIS-home work problems

1. Figure1 shows a rock crushing mechanism. It is used in a machine where large rock is
placed vertical hopper and falls into this crushing chamber. Properly sized aggregate, which
passes through a sieve, is discharged at the bottom. Rock not passing through the sieve is
reintroduced into this crushing chamber. Determine the angular velocity of the crushing ram
and the coupler, in the shown configuration, as the 60mm crank rotates at 120rpm,cw.

2. The mechanism shown in fig.2 is used to feed cartons to a labeling machine and, at the
same time, to prevent the stored cartons from moving down. At full speed, the drive shaft
uniformly rotates counter clockwise with an angular velocity of 200 rpm. At the instant
shown, determine the velocity of the ram and the angular velocity of the connecting rod.
