The determinant of the coefficient matrix in Equation (6b) is

DET ( 200 mm)( 1 rad) 200 mm= + − = − (7a) Using Cramer’s rule, the first-order kinematic coefficient for the angle of link 3 is

3433.01 mm 2.165 rad / rad

200 mm−′θ = = +−

(8)

The positive sign indicates that link 3 is rotating counterclockwise for a counterclockwise rotation of the input link 2.

From Cramer’s rule, the first-order kinematic coefficient for point B is

200 250 433.01 346.41 mmR 999.995 mm / rad200 mm

+ × + ×′ = = −−

(9a)

Therefore, the first-order kinematic coefficient for point B is

9R 1.0 m / rad′ = − (9b)

The negative sign indicates that the length of the vector 9R is becoming shorter for a counterclockwise rotation of the input link 2, that is point B is moving downward.

The rolling contact constraint between link 4 and the ground link 1 can be written as

9 4 4 7( )R ρ θ θ± Δ = Δ −Δ (10)

7

The correct sign is positive because as the wheel 4 rotates clockwise the magnitude of the vector 9R becomes shorter. Also, the change in the angular position of the vector 7R is zero, that is, 7 0,θΔ = therefore, Equation (10) can be written as

9 4 4R ρ θ+ Δ = Δ (11)

Differentiating Equation (11) with respect to the input position 2θ gives

9 4 4R ρ θ′ ′+ = (12a) Then rearranging this equation, the first-order kinematic coefficient for link 4 can be written as

Rθρ′

Substituting Equation (9b) and the radius of link 4 into Equation (12b), the first-order kinematic coefficient for link 4 is

140 mmθ −′ = + = − (13)

The negative sign indicates that link 4 is rotating clockwise as the input link 2 rotates counterclockwise.

where the positive sign must be used here because the input angular velocity is shown as positive in the given figure (that is, counterclockwise). Substituting Equations (4a) and (4b) into Equation (7a) gives

Substituting Equations (4), (5), and (7b) into Equation (6), the radius of curvature of the path of point C can be written as

Also, the force 23F can be written as

F F= = = (15) and is acting vertically upward. Note that the answers given by Equations (14) and (15) are in good agreement with the answers given by Equations (9) and (13). The directions of the forces CF and 23F are shown in Figure 8, that is, the external force CF is acting to the right and the internal reaction force 23F is acting vertically upward. Therefore, the internal reaction force 32F is acting vertically downward.

Also, the internal reaction force between the ground link 1 and link 2 is equal and opposite to the internal reaction force between links 2 and 3, that is

12 32 23 160.0 NF F F= − = + = + (16) This force is acting vertically upward, that is, link 2 is in compression.
