Problem 1-7

The time ratio for a given mechanism is the advance time divided by the return time. For this problem the advance time was 4.3 seconds. The return time was 4.7 seconds

Q= Advance time / Return time = 4.3 / 4.7 = 0.9149

This was calculated by measuring the time between angles in working model by using the frame-by-frame playback and finding the point where the follower's velocity reached zero. The link to the working model is listed below.
