1) For the compressor linkage shown in Figure below, use the vector mathematics and equation
of relative velocity method determine the linear velocity of the piston as the crank rotates
clockwise at 1150 rpm. (5 points)

2) In the slider-crank mechanism of Fig, the crank rotates at a constant angular velocity of 10π
rad/s clockwise. Determine the velocity of the slider B and the angular velocity of the
connecting rod ω3 for the phase when θ= 45 degree. For 𝑂2 𝐴 = 100𝑚𝑚 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝐴𝐵 = 450𝑚𝑚
use complex number analysis. (2.5 points)

3) PQRS is a four bar chain with link PS fixed. The lengths of the
links are PQ= 62.5 mm; QR = 175 mm ; RS = 112.5 mm ; and
PS = 200 mm. The crank PQ rotates at 10 rad/s clockwise. Draw
the velocity and acceleration diagram when angle QPS = 60° and
Q and R lie on the same side of PS. Find the angular velocity
and angular acceleration of links QR and RS. (2.5 points)
