AU-NOV/DEC 2022 PROBLEM

(b) In the slider-crank mechanism shown in Fig, the lengths of the various links are OA=AC= 200mm, AB=600mm.
The crank rotates at a constant angular velocity of 10 rad/s CW. Determine the angular acceleration of the
connecting rod AB, acceleration of slider B, and acceleration of a point C in AB.

Given : Length Velocity Acceleration Acceleration
OA=AC = 200 mm
AB = 600 mm Velocity Diagram: O2A 2 m/s ar = (v²/AB)
=0.2m =(2²/0.2) at = 0
ωOA= 10 rad/s CCW
a = 20 m/s²
Input Link Velocity VOA=2m/s c AB 1.76 ar = (v²/BC)
VAB = ω x OA = 10 x 0.2 = 2 m/s V =1.76 m/s =0.6m m/s = 5.16 m/s² Unknown

Result

1.Angular acceleration of link AB , αAB = atAB/AB=

9.29/0.6= 15.48 rad/s²
2.Acceleration of slider , aAB = 20.8 m/s²
3.Acceleration of point C on AB, aC= 19.9 m/s²
