The World of Mechanisms 1.1 Sketch at least six different examples of the use of a planar four-bar linkage in practice. They can be found in the workshop, in domestic appliances, on vehicles, on agricultural machines, and so on. Since the variety is unbounded no standard solutions are shown here. 1.2 The link lengths of a planar four-bar linkage are 0.2, 0.4, 0.6 and 0.6 m. Assemble the links in all possible combinations and sketch the four inversions of each. Do these linkages satisfy Grashof's law? Describe each inversion by name, for example, a crankrocker mechanism or a drag-link mechanism. s  0.2, l  0.6, p  0.4, q  0.6 ; these linkages all satisfy Grashof’s law since 0.20.6  0.40.6. Ans. Drag-link mechanism Drag-link mechanism Ans. Crank-rocker mechanism Crank-rocker mechanism Ans. Double-rocker mechanism Crank-rocker mechanism Ans. 1.3 A crank-rocker linkage has a 250 mm frame, a 62.5 mm crank, a 225 mm coupler, and a 187.5 mm rocker. Draw the linkage and find the maximum and minimum values of the transmission angle. Locate both toggle positions and record the corresponding crank angles and transmission angles.

(b) 1 2 n  8, j 10, j  0; m  381 21010 1 Ans. (c) 1 2 n  7, j  9, j  0; m  37 1  29 10  0 Ans. Note that the Kutzbach criterion fails in this case; the true mobility is m=1. The exception is due to a redundant constraint. The assumption that the rolling contact joint does not allow links 2 and 3 to separate duplicates the constraint of the fixed link length 2 3 O O . (d) 1 2 n  4, j  3, j  2; m  341  23 12 1 Ans. Notice that each coaxial pair of sliding ground joints is counted as only a single prismatic pair. 1.6 Use the Kutzbach criterion to determine the mobility of the mechanism illustrated in Fig. P1.6. 1 2 n  5, j  5, j 1; m  351  25 11 1 Ans. Notice that the double pin is counted as two single j1 pins. 1.7 Find a planar mechanism with a mobility of one that contains a moving quaternary link.
