As a student at Union College, I am part of a community that values intellectual effort, curiosity and discovery. I understand that in order to truly claim my educational and academic achievements, I am obligated to act with academic integrity. Therefore, I affirm that I carried out the work on this exam with full academic honesty, and I rely on my fellow students to do the same.
For this exam I understand that:
1. I must work alone in writing out the answers to this exam. 2. I cannot copy solutions to these problems from any person or resource. 3. I cannot use any electronic resources, other than the program I wrote as part of this class,
to assist me in the solution to the questions on this exam. 4. I can use one formula sheet (both sides) that I prepared as a reference for this exam, I
must staple this sheet to the back of my exam, and this sheet cannot contain any solutions to problems.

PROBLEM 1 (30 pts): A box sits on top of the base shown in Position 1 and needs to be
moved to Position 2, and then to Position 3. (Guess 2=-50, 3=-100, 2=-50, and 3=-80)
1a. Using the program that you developed in class, perform an analytical synthesis to design a linkage that will move the box from positions 1 to 2 to 3, and has ground pivots on the base. Show all work need to calculate the parameters used in your computer model below. Staple a copy of the computer solution directly after the next page of this exam.

PROBLEM 2 (30 pts): A container of liquid sit on top of a base (A1B1) and is required to move to the position on the lower step ( A3B3).
Above is an illustration of the graphical two positions synthesis. This configuration 1) insures that the orientation of the container remains the same throughout the motion from the top of the base to the top of the lower platform and is the minimum configuration for the container clearing the corner of the base. The black lines represent the construction lines and perpendicular bisectors of those lines; it is along the perpendicular bisectors that the rotopoles or fixed pivots have to be located.

2b. Does your linkage design require the base to be modified in any way? Explain. Can it be designed so that the base does not have to be modified? How?
The configuration that was synthesized above minimally satisfies the constraint of not having to modify the base. If the fix pivots are positioned any lower on the bisectors of the moving pivots, the corner of the container will run into the base. If this were allowed to happen, the base will have to be modified. If the fixed pivots are positioned higher than the minimal point on the bisectors of the moving pivots, the gap between the container and the corner of the base will increase in distance. The limit to how far above the base the container can be carried is limited by knowing the fixed pivots must be positioned on the bisector, but below the line between the moving pivots.
Because the synthesized mechanism is designed to be a parallelogram, all points on the container will sweep out a circular path of the same diameter. This means that the line between B and the left corner of the container will remain horizontal during the motion of the container and that the location of the center of the corners path is horizontal and to the left of the center of point B’s path, at a distance that is equal to the distance from point B to the corner. This geometry enabled the minimal configuration to be identified as shown in the figure.
2c. Will the linkage design enable the container to hold a liquid without spilling it as it travels from the upper base position to the lower platform position? Explain. Can the linkage be designed to hold the container in the same position throughout its motion from the upper to lower base? How?
The linkage designed above will always stay in the same orientation throughout the motion of the container from the top of the base to the lower platform. This is assured, as explained above, by the parallelogram nature of the mechanism design. Because the top of the container will remain horizontal, the mechanism is designed to maximize the ability of the container to hold a liquid without spilling it during the motion of the mechanism.

As a student at Union College, I am part of a community that values intellectual effort, curiosity and discovery. I understand that in order to truly claim my educational and academic achievements, I am obligated to act with academic integrity. Therefore, I affirm that I carried out the work on this exam with full academic honesty, and I rely on my fellow students to do the same.
For this exam I understand that:
1. I must work alone in writing out the answers to this exam. 2. I cannot copy solutions to these problems from any person or resource. 3. I cannot use any electronic resources, other than the program I wrote as part of this class,
to assist me in the solution to the questions on this exam. 4. I can use one formula sheet (both sides) that I prepared as a reference for this exam, I
must staple this sheet to the back of my exam, and this sheet cannot contain any solutions to problems.

PROBLEM 1 (30 pts): A box sits on top of the base shown in Position 1 and needs to be moved
to Position 2, and then to Position 3. (Guess 2=-50, 3=-100, 2=-50, and 3=-80)

1a. Using the program that you developed in class, perform an analytical synthesis to design a linkage that will move the box from positions 1 to 2 to 3, and has ground pivots on the base. Show all work need to calculate the parameters used in your computer model below. Staple a copy of the computer solution directly after this page.

2a. Using the program that you developed in class, perform an analytical synthesis to design a linkage that will move the box from the top positions (A1B1) to the bottom position ( A3B3), and has ground pivots on the base. Show all work need to calculate the parameters used in your computer model below. Staple a copy of the computer solution directly after this page.

2b. Does your linkage design require the base to be modified in any way? Explain. Can it be designed so that the base does not have to be modified? How?
2c. Will the linkage design enable the container to hold a liquid without spilling it as it travels from the upper base position to the lower platform position? Explain. Can the linkage be designed to hold the container in the same position throughout its motion from the upper to lower base? How?
