4.For the toggle mechanism as shown in figure, the slider D is constrained to move along horizontal direction. The crank rotates at 180 rpm. The dimensions of various links are as follows. OA = 180 mm ; CB = 240 mm; AB = 360 mm; BD = 540 mm. For the given configuration determine the velocity of the slider and angular velocities of links AB, BC and BD. Also determine the linear acceleration of the slider D.

5.The driving crank AD of the quick-return mechanism, as shown in figure, revolves at a uniform speed of 200 r.p.m. Find the velocity and acceleration of the tool-box R, in the position shown, when the crank makes an angle of 60with the vertical line of centers PA.
