Question 1: In a three-cylinder radial compressor the crank is initially making an angle of 30º as shown.
The horizontal & vertical distances between points O and B are 90 and 50 inches respectively. The lengths
of links 3, 4 and 5 are identical i.e., 70 inches. The crank length is 20 inches. If the crank rotates 20º
CCW; then compare the displaced and initial configurations of the mechanism and analytically
determine the resulting displacement of piston in cylinder B i.e., link 8. [CLO3 | C4 | PLO3] [05]

Question 2: The figure given below depicts a mechanism. The lengths of the links are OA=300mm,
AB=600mm, AC=BD=1200mm. In the provided configuration OD is horizontal. If OA rotates at 300RPM
in CW direction then analyze the mechanism and graphically determine liner velocities of points C and D.
Also find out the angular velocities of links AC and BD.
