Remember to follow APA formatting guidelines.Part A, Baseline MechanismYou are on a design team working on a robotic mechanism and have been assigned the analysis of this part of the mechanism. The part for you to analyze is shown below. This machine has an actuator at point A that needs to apply a couple at point B of up to 2.5 N m. The angle range at point B is from 20 to 120 degrees. You need to determine the maximum torque (couple) required of the actuator at point A and the minimum length of rod AC. The angle range for the actuator at A should also be reported.Linkage Mechanism
You will plot the results for the length of AD, the force of the collar on AC at D and the required moment at A to keep the mechanism in equilibrium as functions of the angle at B. The approximate solutions with the angle at B equal to 20 degrees are: Length of AD = 78 mm
Force of the collar on rod AC at D = 17 N
Couple at A = 1.3 N m Part B, Modified MechanismThe lead designer would like to move the actuator at A 100 mm to the left. You need to analyze the new mechanism with the distance from A to B now modified to 250 mm.
