Answer to Question #290555 in Mechanical Engineering for Ktd

Question

Determine the acceleration of A4 on link 4 for the quick

return mechanism given below. Link 2 rotates 10 rad/sec CW.

Fixed link 0,04= 300mm, Driving link O2A = 100mm, 0 = 51° and B =

18º. Also find out coriolis component of acceleration and angular

acceleration of link 4.

Answer 1

Coriolis acceleration is the acceleration due to the rotation of the earth, experienced by particles (water parcels, for example) moving along the earth's surface. Coriolis acceleration is generated by the eastward rotation of the earth around the N-S axis.
