Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a three-link planar mechanism, find all the ICs and calculate the velocity of one point on the system when the angular velocity is 2 rad/s.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Draw sketches for each link connection and clearly label the distances.

Question 2

Consider a system where the angular velocity of one link is altered. How would this change affect the velocities of other points, identified through IC? Analyze and provide a detailed explanation.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Focus on how changes in one link’s motion influence the others through the IC.
