Question 1.
What is the formula for linear velocity?
Show hintHide hint
Think about how velocity relates to angular velocity and radius.
Question 2.
Define the term Instantaneous Center.
Show hintHide hint
Focus on the idea of simplification in motion analysis.
3Question 3.
What is the formula to calculate linear velocity?
- v = ω + r
- v = ω × r
- v = r/ω
Show hintHide hint
Look for the relationship between angular motion and linear motion.
4Question 4.
True or False: The instantaneous center is always at a fixed point.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Consider how the term 'instantaneous' applies.
Question 5.
A wheel with a radius of 0.5 m rotates at an angular velocity of 10 rad/s. Calculate the linear velocity at the edge of the wheel.
Show hintHide hint
Remember to use the basic formula for linear velocity.
Question 6.
Explain how you would analyze a closed-loop mechanism system with three links using loop closure equations.
Show hintHide hint
Consider how each link’s position relates to the others.
