Q. 1 In a swiveling joint mechanism, as shown in Fig. below, the crank OA is rotating clockwise at 100 rpm. The lengths of various links are: OA = 50 mm, AB = 350 mm; AD=DB; DE=EF= 250 mm and CB = 125 mm. the horizontal distance between the fixed points O and C is 300 mm and the vertical distance between F and C is 250mm. For the given configuration, find acceleration of sliding of the link DE in the turnnion.
