1. Pulley B is being driven by the motorized pulley A that is rotating at ω A = 20 rad/s.
At time t =
0, the current in the motor is cut off, and friction in the bearings causes the pulleys to coast to a
stop. The angular acceleration of A during the deceleration is αA = −2.5t rad/s2, where t is in
seconds. Assuming that the drive belt does not slip on the pulleys, determine (1) the angular
velocity of B as a function of time; (2) the angular displacement of B during the period of
coasting; and (3) the acceleration of point C on the straight portion of the belt as a function of
time.
2. A circular plate of 120 mm radius is supported by two bearings A and B as shown. The plate
rotates about the rod joining A and B with a constant angular velocity of 26 rad/s. Knowing
that, at the instant considered, the velocity of Point C is directed to the right, determine the
velocity and acceleration of Point E.
3. The punch is operated by a simple harmonic oscillation of the pivoted sector given by θ = θo sin
2πt, where the amplitude is θo = π/12 rad (15o) and the time of one complete oscillation is 1
second. Determine the acceleration of the punch where (a) θ = 0o and (b) θ = π/12
4. Crank CB oscillates about C through a limited arc, causing crank OA to oscillate about O.
When the linkage passes the position shown with CB horizontal and OA vertical, the angular
velocity of CB is 2 rad/s counterclockwise. For this instant, determine the angular velocities of
OA and AB.
5. The crankshaft AB turns with a clockwise angular acceleration of 20 rad/s2. Determine the
acceleration of the piston at the instant AB is in the position shown. At this instant ωAB = 10
rad/s and ωBC = 2.43 rad/s
6. In the position shown in Figure, the angular velocity of bar AB is 2 rad/s clockwise. Calculate the
angular velocities of bars BC and CD for this position
7. Use instantaneous center zero velocity methods for problem 6; determine the angular velocities of bars
BC and CD and the velocity of C using the instant centers for velocities.
