Transcribed Image Text:### Analysis of a Parallelogram Linkage Mechanism
#### Problem Statement:
Find the velocities \( v_A, v_B, v_{\text{box}} \) and accelerations \( a_A, a_B, a_{\text{box}} \) for the mechanism shown below.
Link 2 (Line joining \( O_2A \)) is oriented at 60° in the global coordinate system at the instant shown in the figure, and is rotating clockwise with an angular velocity \( \omega_2 \) of 30 rad/sec. (Hint: This is a parallelogram linkage, which exactly duplicates the rotary motion of the driver crank at the driven crank).
#### Diagram Description:
The given diagram represents a four-bar linkage mechanism known as a parallelogram linkage. Key elements and details include:
- Two fixed pivots labeled \( O_2 \) and \( O_4 \).
- Link lengths are provided as follows:
- \( L_1 = 150 \)
- \( L_2 = 30 \)
- \( L_3 = 150 \)
- \( L_4 = 30 \)
- Link 2 (\( O_2A \)) and Link 4 (\( O_4B \)) are equal in length.
- Links 1 (\( O_2O_4 \)) and 3 (\( AB \)) are equal in length.
- Angles and directions:
- Link 2 (\( O_2A \)) is oriented at 60° with the horizontal (X-axis).
- The angular velocity \( \omega_2 \) of Link 2 is given as 30 rad/sec in the clockwise direction.
- The system displays a parallelogram linkage which ensures the angular velocity and accelerations are mirrored in the driven crank as well.
**Coordinate System:**
- The global coordinate system includes an X-axis (horizontal) and a Y-axis (vertical).
- The box is connected to the linkage via a vertical link extending from point A, replicating the rotary motion into linear motion.
#### Solution Requirements:
To determine:
- Velocities \( v_A \), \( v_B \), and \( v_{\text{box}} \).
- Accelerations \( a_A \), \( a_B \), and \( a_{\text{box}} \).
**Graphical Analysis:**
- Two circles with fixed centers \( O_2 \)
