Question: Body 1 is a disk where the distance between the center and point D is 2 ft . It rotates around an axis passing through

Body 1 is a disk where the distance between the center and point D is 2 ft. It rotates around an axis passing through its center. Body 2 is connected to body 1 at point D, on the edge of the disk, in a way that they can rotate relative to each other. The distance CD is 4 ft. Body 2 is pivoted to body 3 at point C. Body 3 has a vertical slot through which point B can slide via a small wheel that is part of body 4, where body 4 is the slender bar AB with a length of 13 ft, as shown in the figure. Body 1 rotates with a constant angular velocity =2 rad/s in a clockwise direction.
Knowing that body 3 is moving in translation, find for the instant corresponding to the shown position:
The magnitude and direction of the angular velocity of bar AB.(40%)
The magnitude and direction of the angular acceleration of bar AB.(60%)
Body 1 is a disk where the distance between the
