9-1 For the slider-crank mechanism shown consider the following data (your choice of unit)
LAO2 = 2.0, LBA = 4.0, LCA = 2.0, LDC = 1.5, offset = 1.0

velocity of 1.0 rad/sec CCW and an angular acceleration of 1.0 rad/sec2 CW. A velocity analysis
has revealed an angular velocity for link (3) as ω 3 = 0.5 rad/sec CW.
