A four-bar mechanism is working on horizontal plane. The second link length is 0,5 m and makes an angle of 8=29 degrees with the vertical line as shown in figure. Find the torque (T) in Nm must be applied to link 4 to keep the mechanism in equilibrium against a F=126 N force acting at E on the link 3 upward (along positive y- axis) direction. Allowable tolerance for your answer of this question is relatively 3 percent. So, work precisely and clear while solving it. Do not enter any UNIT. (If the direction of the torque is CCW, just enter the value of it without any sign. If it has CW direction, enter "-" sign "negative sign" before the value such as "- 12,12".)

A small lab scale has a rigid L-shaped frame ABC consisting of a horizontal aim AB (length b = 30 cm) and a vertical arm BC (length c = 20 cm) pivoted at point B. The pivot is attached to the outer frame BCD that stands on a laboratory bench.

If the weight is 65 N. how many revolutions of the nut are required to bring the pointer back to the mark?

A hollow circular tube A fits over the end of a solid circular bar B, as shown in the figure. The far ends of both bars are fixed.
