For the velocity analysis of this mechanism, it is recommended that you write down three vector velocity equations: 1) relating the motion of O and C; 2) the motion of B and C; and, 3) relating the ...
Step 1: FBD – Draw a free body diagram of particle P. Note that the slot is smooth (no friction), and that the system moves in a horizontal plane (no influence of gravity). Step 3: Kinematics – It is ...
