Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

In a complex slider-crank mechanism where the crank rotates at 20 rad/s and the connecting rod is 1.5 m. What is the velocity of the slider when the IC is 0.75 m from it?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Utilize the formula once you've identified the distances.

Question 2

A robotic arm consists of multiple linkages. If the total angular velocity is 25 rad/s and the IC for the last link is found at 0.5 m, calculate the velocity of this link.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Always remember to apply the correct relationship between distance and angular velocity.
