The two links OA and OB are connected by a pin joint at O. If the link OA turns with angular velocity ω1 rad/s in the clockwise direction and the link OB turns with angular velocity ω2 rad/s in the anti-clockwise direction, then the rubbing velocity at the pin joint O is

Correct Answer: (ω1+ω2)r
Consider two links OA and OB connected by a pin joint at O Let ω1 = Angular velocity of the link OA or the angular velocity of the point A with respect to O. ω2 = Angular velocity of the link OB or the angular velocity of the point B with respect to O, and r = Radius of the pin. According to the definition, Rubbing velocity at the pin joint O = (ω1 – ω2) r, if the links move in the same direction = (ω1 + ω2) r, if the links move in the opposite direction
