1 a In a toggle mechanism as shown in the fig below, the slider D is constrained to CO212.2 L4
move on horizontal path. The crank OA is retaining in CCW direction at a speed
of 180rpm, increasing at the rate of 50 rad/sec2. The dimensions of various links
are as follows: OA = 180 mm, CB = 240 mm, AB = 360 mm, BD = 540 mm. For
the given configuration find (i) Velocity of slider D and angular velocity of BD
(ii) Acceleration of slider D and angular acceleration of BD.
