Hello, I'm having difficulty undertanding this kinematics equation. A step by step answer would be appreciated. Thank you.

### 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 \( O_2 \)
