Homework #2
1 For the mechanism shown, define a set of vectors that is suitable
for a complete kinematic analysis of the mechanism. Label and
show the sense and orientation of each vector. Write the vector
loop equation(s) for the mechanism. Identify suitable input(s) for
the mechanism. Identify the known quantities, the unknown
variables, and any constraints. If you have identified constraints,
then write the constraint equation(s).
