Q1. A four-bar mechanism is shown in Figure1. You should draw free body diagrams for each moving
links and indicate constraint and inertial forces & moments on the links. Then, you should write down
force and moments equations according to D’Alembert principle. Assume no friction and no
gravitational loads. (40 pts.)

Q2.

Figure2. Slider Crank Mechanism

If M12=100 N m for illustrated mechanism in Figure 2, what force Pb is necessary to maintain static
equilibrium? |𝑂2 𝐴| = 75 𝑚𝑚 and |𝐴𝐵| = 250 𝑚𝑚. (40 pts)

Q3. You should draw a two DoF (Degree of freedom) mechanism with revolute joints. You should
verify DoF mechanism using mobility formulations. (20 pts)

Note: You can draw mechanism using CAD softwares such as AutoCAD, Solidworks and others. You
should prepare a word document to copy your drawings and equations. You can also draw on the
paper. If you use paper, please convert your files to pdf file.

GOOD LUCK
