Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Consider a four-bar linkage where the lengths are given as L1 = 5m, L2 = 7m, and L3 = 9m. Determine if the mechanism can be closed and derive the loop closure equation.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Look into the geometric constraints between the lengths.

Question 2

A slider-crank mechanism is working during a cycle. If the angular position of the crank is given, derive the position vectors for all components and apply the loop closure equation to find the slider’s position.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Use trigonometric relationships to find positions based on the crank angle.
