so sorry. didnt notice there are rules like that here. my intention was getting new ideas or ways to look at this thing and calculate it. anyhow, following the book, i manage to come out with a equation but I am kinda stuck now. http://img16.imageshack.us/img16/2465/1231245794.png can anyone...

http://img267.imageshack.us/img267/9636/qw5e64a2d1sda54.png Hi guys. i have a question that needs verification. Referring to the above diagram, Please determine the Moment, M (Nm) needed in order to hold the mechanism in equilibrium state as shown above by using "Method of Virtual...

my bad. this is a simplify diagram. the actual dwg, the locus, shaft length, crank wheel diameter is perfect where it can rotate and it won't get stuck. sorry for the confusion on the diagram. the actual machine looks complicated, so i came out with a simplified one just to describe the problem...

yup, my application requires the wheel to drive the block. but then, i need to select a suitable motor to drive the crank/crankwheel, then the linkage and then the block. Therefore, I need the torque require to calculate my power needed right? if no, then do you have suggestion how much...

Hi, Im currently designing a small machine which uses a simple crank mechanism but my crank mechanism is not a typical one. My application: [/URL] My application uses the crank wheel to drive the block (10kg). Hence, I need to calculate the torque require to drive the crank wheel. So I can...
