In a four-bar chain it is required to give an oscillatory motion to the follower for a continuous rotation of the crank. For the lengths of 50 mm of crank and 70 mm of the follower, determine theoretical maximum length of coupler. The distance between fixed pivots of crank and followers is Correct Answer Slightly less than 95 mm

Statement (I): When a flat-faced follower is used, it would be preferable to provide an offset in the plane perpendicular to the plane of rotation of the cam. Statement (II): Because of the offset, the follower is made to rotate continuously about its axis which in turn avoids jamming of the follower in its guide while moving up or down, reduces the wear of the follower flat surface and distributes the wear uniformly.
Statement I: In four-bar chain, whenever all four links are used, with each of them forming a turning pair, there will be continuous relative motion between the two links of different lengths. Statement II: For a four-bar mechanism, the sum of the shortest and longest link lengths is not greater than the sum of remaining two links.
