VELOCITY ANALYSIS $-$ EXERCISES

The link lengths and the value of ${}_2$ and ${}_2$ for some four$-$bar mechanisms are defined in the

following table. The linkage configuration and terminology are shown in the image. For the

following rows, draw the linkage to scale and find the velocities of the pin joints A and $B$ and

then calculate ${}_3$ and ${}_4$ and find the velocity of point $P.$

Find also the locations of all Instant Centers of velocity.

Solve the problem using graphical analysis and repeat it using the analytical method.
