1) Define the following terms:
(i) Kinematic link ii) Kinematic pair iii) Kinematic chain iv) Mechanism (4)

2) A slider crank mechanism has lengths of the crank and the connecting rod equal to 200 mm
and 200 mm respectively. Locate all the instantaneous centres of the mechanism for the
position of the crank when it has turned through 30 o from the inner dead centre. Also find
the velocity of the slider and the angular velocity of the connecting rod if the crank rotates at
40 rad/sec. (6)

4) Why does it seem that a cyclone in the northern hemisphere spins in one direction, while a

cyclone in the southern hemisphere spins in the opposite direction? Explain on the grounds of

Coriolis effect. (5)
