Find = (2N) / 60, substituting value of N=200 rpm, = 20.952 rad/s.

Now velocity of slider b with respect to o,
Vbo = OB = 20.952 0.06 = 1.257 m/s.

Velocity of point A (on link CD) with respect to point C is perpendicular to

link CD.

Now, points C, A and D are on a single link.

So in velocity diagram points c, a and d will be co-linear.
To draw velocity of point d, extend the vector ca taking ratio ca/cd = CA/CD
Take dimension from velocity diagram in case of small letters.
Take dimension from mechanism in case of capital letters.
Values of ca from velocity diagram & CA, CD from mechanism can be found.
The value of cd for velocity diagram can be found.
Draw vector as per the derived length.

From acceleration table draw 1st acceleration vector.

Centripetal acceleration of slider B with respect of O, will be parallel to OB
& it will be toward centre of rotation of link OB, i.e. O.
So from O1 draw vector parallel to OB & head of vector towards O.
Magnitude of vector will be same as the value which we have found.

Now centripetal acceleration of A with respect to C, it will be parallel to AC

& towards the centre of rotation of link AC, i.e. towards C.
So from C1 draw vector parallel to CD & magnitude of vector will be as per

Here we are interested in finding out acceleration of slider B with respect to

C. It is addition of acceleration of B with respect to A & acceleration of A
with respect to C.
Here coriolis component will come into picture.
It can be found our by the method shown in red figure. Blue vector is coriolis

a1b1 = Total acceleration of B with respect to A.

c1a1 = Total acceleration of A with respect to C.
Now links C, A & D are co-linear.
Hence in acceleration diagram these three points must be co-linear.
So taking ratio, c1a1/c1d1 = CA / CD.
Capital letter indicates measurements from mechanism drawn.
Small letter indicates measurements from acceleration diagram.
