**Problem 6: Mechanics of Linkages**

Link \( AB \) has an angular velocity of 4.00 rad/s counterclockwise in the position shown in the diagram to the right.

**Objectives:**

a) Calculate the translational velocity vector (magnitude and direction) of point \( C \).

b) Calculate the translational velocity vector (magnitude and direction) of point \( E \).

**Diagram Details:**

- The diagram illustrates a linkage system.
- Link \( AB \) is pivoted at \( A \) and extends to \( B \).
- From \( B \), a horizontal link extends to \( E \).
- There is another link connecting point \( C \) diagonally to point \( D \), forming a 60° angle with the horizontal.
- Key dimensions provided in the system:
  - Length \( AB = 4.00'' \)
  - Length \( BE = 4.00'' \)
  - Length \( BC = 6.00'' \)
  - Vertical length from \( A \) to ground \( = 5.00'' \)
  - Horizontal distance from \( A \) to \( E \) on the ground \( = 7.50'' \)
  - Vertical height from \( D \) to the bottom \( = 2.40'' \)
  - Vertical height from the line \( CD \) to \( C \) \( = 3.00'' \)

**Calculation Steps:**

1. **Velocity Calculation for Point \( C \):**
   - Use the angular velocity of link \( AB \) and dimensions given to compute the translational velocity at point \( C \).
   - Apply the rotational kinematics principles for calculating the velocity vector, considering the counterclockwise motion.

2. **Velocity Calculation for Point \( E \):**
   - Similarly, extend the calculations for \( E \).
   - Analyze the path and velocity impact due to the mechanics of linkage \( BE \).

**Note:**
For accurate calculations, consider using the properties of rotational motion and vector mathematics.
