The length of various links of a mechanism shown in Fig. are as follows:
AB = DE =150 mm, BC = CD = 450 mm, EF = 375 mm
The crank AB makes an angle of 45° with horizontal and rotates about A in the clockwise direction at a uniform speed of 120 rpm. The lever DC oscillates about the fixed point D, which is connected to AB by the coupler. The block F moves in the horizontal guide, being driven by the link EF.
Determine 1. Velocity of the block F 2. Angular velocity of DC, and 3. Rubbing speed at the pin C which is 50 mm in diameter.

1. Follower moves outwards through 50 mm during 120° of cam rotation.
2. Follower dwells for next 60° of cam rotation
3. Follower returns to its original position during next 90° of cam rotation

Figure shows an epicyclic gear train knows as Ferguson's paradox. Gear A is fixed to the frame and is, therefore, stationary. The arm B and gears C and D are free to rotate on the shafts S. Gear A, C and D have 100, 101 and 99 teeth respectively. The planet gear has 20 teeth. The pitch circle diameters of all are the same so that the planet gear P meshes with all of them.
