Question: ( 1 0 0 Points ) You are given the following mechanism with an input angle a d . . The known values are: r

(100 Points) You are given the following mechanism with an input angle ad.. The known values are:
roa=0.06444m
oa=79.8468
rOF=0.41988m
OF=50.3941
rFE=0.49615m
rDE=0.62205m
rAD=0.47774m
rAC=0.47774m
rCD=0.53663m
rBC=0.72012m
rOB=1.22449m
Degrees of Freedom (DOF):
Determine how many DOF the mechanism has. Clearly show and label all the links and joints.
Vector Loops:
Draw the mechanism, labeling all vector loops, vector directions, and angles. Identify all
unknown values and the vector loops you need to solve for them.
Vector Loops in Cartesian Form:
Write down the vector loops in Cartesian and Polar coordinates. (Just providing a correct position
loop function is enough for this step.)
Solve the Mechanism:
Start with AD=80.5. Calculate the movement of all the links as AD changes to 55.8. Note: Be
careful with initial guesses, as they can affect your solution.
Plot Angles:
Plot the angles of all moving links against the input angle (AD) in degrees (deg vs. deg).
Velocity and Acceleration:
If AD=-5degs, find the maximum values of BC and DE.
Bonus (15 points):
Create an animation of the mechanism's movement.
