At the instant when $\text{OP}$ is vertical and $\text{AP}$ is horizontal, the link $\text{OD}$ is rotating counter clockwise at a constant rate $\omega=7 \mathrm{rad} / ...

The figure shows a wheel rolling without slipping on a horizontal plane with angular velocity $\omega_1$. A rigid bar $\text{PQ}$ is pinned to the wheel at $\text{P}$ whi...

In the configuration of the planar four-bar mechanism at a certain instant as shown in the figure, the angular velocity of the $2$ $\text{cm}$ long link is $w_{2} = 5$ $...

The figure shows a schematic of a simple Watt governor mechanism with the spindle $O_{1}O_{2}$ rotating at an angular velocity $\omega$ about a vertical axis. The balls a...

The Whitworth quick return mechanism is shown in the figure with link lengths as follows: $\text{OP = 300 mm, OA = 150 mm, AR = 160 mm, RS = 450 mm}$.The quick return rat...
