Problem 1:
For the Geneva mechanism given below, the peg (or pin) at P is fixed to link 2 and slides
in the slot of link 3. For the position shown below, 2 = 150o, R1 = O3O2 = 8 cm and R2 =
O2P = 6 cm. The angular velocity of link 2 is given as 2 = 30 rad/s CCW. Use the
complex number method to find the following:

Problem 2:
For the mechanism below, link 2 rotates with an angular velocity of 2 = 200 rad/s (cw)
and angular acceleration α2 = 1500 rad/s2 (ccw), as shown. Given that P0P = 1.5 inch.
Also given are the following velocities:
(a) Draw a vector representation (make point P0 the origin of your reference
coordinate system) and write the corresponding loop closure equation.
(c) Using the complex number equation found above, find the acceleration of link 4
(aP4) and relative sliding acceleration of slider 3 with respect to link 4 at P (aP2P4).
Do not forget to indicate directions for both aP4 and aP2P4.

Problem 3:
Hint: First solve for the first vector loop between r1, r2 and r3, and then move on to the next loop.
