This document discusses graphic position analysis for mechanical linkages. It describes how two-dimensional vector equations can be used to solve for magnitudes and directions of vectors. It also outlines how position analysis is used to determine position variables for slider-crank and four-bar linkages, given the dimensions of each link and values of independent variables or known positions. Diagrams are provided to illustrate position analysis of specific linkages.

Hussain Ahmad Tariq, WEC Graphic Position Analysis A two dimensional vector equation can be solved for two unknowns i.e. 1.Two magnitudes 2.Two directions
3.One magnitude and one direction
Four distinct cases for the unknowns can
occur: 1 Magnitude & direction of the same vector 2 Magnitude of one & direction of another vector
3 Magnitude of two different vectors
4 Direction of two different vectors
