Procedure:
1) Locate a convenient location for pole c and lay out 𝑐𝑎2 equal and parallel to 𝑉𝐴 on 2.
2) To find 𝑉𝐴 on 4, 𝑉𝐴 on 4 = 𝑉𝐴 on 2. Sliding velocity
(a) Lay our from 𝑎2 a line parallel to link 4 representing the sliding velocity of the block.
(b) From pole c, draw a line parallel to the direction line of the velocity of A on 4 which
is perpendicular to link 4. 𝑉𝐴 𝑜𝑛 4 = 𝑐𝑎4 𝑥 𝐾𝑣 = 1.35(40) = 54 𝑐𝑚/𝑠𝑒𝑐
3) To find 𝑉𝐵 ,
Points A on 4 and 3 are rotating about the same axis of rotation, the velocities
are proportional to its distances from 𝑆4, likewise, the length of the vector in the
velocity polygon is proportional to its distance from pole c. Therefore,
