2b) In a slider crank mechanism, the crank is 50 mm long and the connecting rod is 200 mm long. The crank makes an angle 450 with the inner dead centre. The crank is rotating with 1400 rpm in anticlockwise direction. Locate all the possible instantaneous centres of rotation for this. Find out the velocity of piston, angular velocity of connecting rod by instantaneous centre method. Also, find the velocity of centre of gravity of connecting rod which lies at 140 mm from small end of it. [4M]
