A four-bar linkage with an open configuration is shown in Figure 1. The relevant data for the linkage is provided in Table 1. A А 120 Figure 1: Four-bar linkage 02 Link 1 Link 2 Link 3 Link 4 100 mm 40 mm 100 mm 120 mm 82 120° 03 47.3° 115.7° 45 rad/s Orad/s2 Table 1: Data for four-bar linkage a. Analyse, via vector loop method, the mechanism by determining i. The angular velocity ws and w4, and ii. The angular accelerations as and a4 iii. The acceleration (magnitude and direction) of point A, AA and B. AB.
