Q.8. A single slider crank chain mechanism shown in Fig. having crank OA=20 cm, connecting rod
AP=70 cm and angular velocity of crank is 10 radian per second. Find the velocity of piston P,
angular velocity of link PA and the velocity of Point B at a distance of 20 cm from A on link AP
when B= 45.

Q.9. In Fig., the angular velocity of the crank OA is 600 rpm. Determine the linear velocity of the
slider D and the angular velocity of the link BD, when the crank is inclined at an angle of 15
to the vertical. The dimensions of various links are: OA=28 mm ; AB=44 mm; BC=49 mm; and
BD=46 mm. The centre distance between the centres of rotation 0 and C is 65 mm. The path of
travel of the slider is 11 mm below the fixed point C. The slider moves along a horizontal path
and OC is vertical.
