 Fourbar Static Analysis
• If a fourbar is subjected to an external forces on the
rocker as shown below. It is required to make a static
force analysis for the mechanism.

 Inverted Slider Crank Analysis
• Given the input torque of the crank as shown below,
it is required to make a static force analysis for the
mechanism and to find the horizontal external force
that can be supported in the position shown.
