Answer any one question from Q7 and Q8
7 (a) In the mechanism shown in the following Fig. 2, the link PQ is free to turn about end P & at the same time, its freely slides in a slotted trunnion R. The slotted trunnion is carried on second link 'sT? which freely slides vertically in the guides. Draw acceleration diagram at the instant when PQ makes an angle of 35° to the horizontal & is rotating with angular velocity of 30 rad / sec. Hence, determine acceleration of link ST.
