2. A general fourbar linkage configuration and its notation are shown in the below figure. The link lengths, coupler point location, and the relevant values of distance and angles, including 8, and w, are defined in the following table. Y .3 W3 RPA P 12 B 3 83 b 03 134 4 c 004 x' (LRCS) 014 x2 (LNCS) 2 123 a 04 02 d 11A X (GCS) 1 002 11,2 Parameters 02 Length of link 2, a (m) Length of link 3, b(m) Length of link 4, c (m) Fixed point 04x (m) Fixed point 04y (m) Distance to coupler, AP, p (m) 83 (deg) 8 Start (deg) 8 End (deg) w2 (rad/s) Values 1.115 2.5 2.5 2.67 0 1 -45 0 90 10 (counterclockwise) (a) Calculate the horizontal position of the coupler point, Px, with respect to the origin global coordinate in O2 when the 82 = 0.
