Name:........................... Roll No. .............................

1. At a given instant, the wheel is rotating with the angular motions shown. Determine the
acceleration of the collar at A at this instant.

1
2. The disk is moving to the left with an angular acceleration α = 8rad/s2 and angular ve-
locity ω = 3rad/s at the instant shown. If it does not slip at A, determine the acceleration
of point B.

2
3. The wheel rolls without slipping such that at the instant shown it has an angular velocity
ω and angular acceleration α. Determine the velocity and acceleration of point B on the
rod at this instant.

3
4. Collar C moves along rod BA with a velocity 3m/s of and an acceleration of 0.5m/s2 ,
both directed from B towards A and measured relative to the rod. At the same instant,
rod AB rotates with the angular velocity and angular acceleration shown. Determine the
collar’s velocity and acceleration at this instant.

4
5. At the instant shown, the robotic arm AB is rotating counter clockwise at ω = 5rad/s
and has an angular acceleration α = 2rad/s2 . Simultaneously, the grip BC is rotating
counterclockwise at ω ′ = 6rad/s and α′ = 2rad/s2 , both measured relative to a fixed
reference. Determine the velocity and acceleration of the object held at the grip C.

5
6. The Geneva mechanism is used in a packaging system to convert constant angular motion
into intermittent angular motion. The star wheel A makes one-sixth of a revolution for
each full revolution of the driving wheel B and the attached guide C. To do this, pin P,
which is attached to B, slides into one of the radial slots of A, thereby turning wheel A,
and then exits the slot. If B has a constant angular velocity of ωB = 4rad/s , determine
ωA and αA of wheel A at the instant shown.
