Question: Problem 1 . In the mechanism shown below, slider C slides along bar A B . Bar CD is 0 . 5 m in length.

Problem 1.
In the mechanism shown below, slider C slides along bar AB. Bar CD is 0.5 m in length. At the instant shown, link AB is rotating with angular velocity AB=3=3rads(CCW), link CD is horizontal, and distance AC=0.75m as shown.
Using the complex number approach, answer the following:
(a) Write the loop closure equation for the velocity vector expression.
(b) Specify the zero and nonzero terms in the velocity expression.
(c) Write the real and imaginary equations of the velocity expression
(d) Solve the real and imaginary equations of the velocity expression to determine
,r1 and r4(use Pythagorean theorem for this part)
the angular velocity of link CD[Magnitude and direction]
the relative velocity of point C with respect to Magnitude and direction]
