ES PROBLEM 7.38
‘Statement: The link lengths, coupler point location, and the values of 8, 02, and a forthe same fourbar
linkages as used for position and velocity analysis in Chapters 4 and 6 are redefined in Table P7-1,
which i the same as Table P6-1. The general linkage configuration and terminology are shown in
Figure P7-1. For row a, draw the linkage to scale and graphically find the accelerations of points A
and B. Then, calculate cy and a, and the acceleration of point P.
Given: Link lengths: Link 1 d= 6.n Link a= 2uin

Solution: SeeFigure P7-1 and Mathcad file PO703a.
1. In order to solve forthe accelerations at points 4 and B, we will need 0;, 03, and 4, From the graphical postion
solution below,
03 = 88.837-deg
04 := 117 286-deg

4. Choose a convenient acceleration scale and draw the vectors with known magnitude and direction. From the
origin, draw A,” at an angle of @, + 180 deg and A." at an angle of 82+ 180 deg. From the tip of A’, draw Ay
atan angle of 8; + 180 deg. Now thatthe vectors with known magnitudes are drawn, from the tips of A." and
‘Any? draw construction lines in the directions of Ay! and Ag, respectively. The intersection of these two lines
are the tips of Agi, Ap,!, and Ay.

From the graphical solution we sce that both of the tangential acceleration vectors for links 3 and 4 point to the
left, so both ofthe angular accelerations are postive.
