Velocity analysis of Four Bar Mechanism

In a four bar chain ABCD, Link AD is fixed and which is 150 mm long. The crank AB is 40
mm long and rotates at 120 rpm in clockwise, while the link CD = 80 mm oscillates about
D. The links BC and AD are of equal length. Find the angular velocity of link CD when
angle BAD = 60°.

Angle ADC= 820

PQRS is a 4-bar chain with link PS fixed. The lengths of the links are PQ=62.5mm,QR=175mm,RS=112.5mm
and PS=200mm. The crank PQ rotates at 10rad/s clockwise. Draw the velocity and diagram when angle
QPS=600 and Q,R lie on the same side of PS. Find the angular velocity of links QR and RS.

In a pin jointed four bar mechanism, as shown in Fig, AB = 300 mm, BC = CD = 360 mm, and AD = 600 mm. The
angle BAD = 60°. The crank AB rotates uniformly at 100 r.p.m. Locate all the instantaneous centres and find the
angular velocity of the link BC.
