Problem 1 - For each mechanism shown set up the equations for position analysis by defining suitable vector loops, developing the vector loop equations, finding the scalar equations and any additional constraints. In each case use Link 2 as the input.

Problem 2 - For the mechanism in part (b) develop a Matlab program that calculates the position of the -slider. Plot the position of the slider versus the input angle for one bill rotation of the input. Hint: Use the x coordinate of the input pin in the pin-slot joint.
