Multiple choice

An instantaneous configuration of a four-bar mechanism, whose plane is horizontal, is shown in the figure below. At this instant, the angular velocity and angular acceleration of link O2A are $\omega8red/s$ and $\alpha=0$, respectively, and the driving torque $(t)$ is zero. The link O2A is balanced so that its center of mass falls at O2.

Which kind of 4-bar mechanism is O2 ABO4?

  1. Double-crank mechanism

  2. Crank-rocker mechanism

  3. Double-rocker mechanism

  4. Parallelogram mechanism
