Problem (5)
In the drag-link mechanism shown, link 2 is turning CW at the rate of 130
rpm. Construct the velocity diagram and compute the following: vE, vF, and
the angular velocity of link 5.
Given: mL = 10 cm/cm

Problem (6)
For the linkage given, 2 = 10 rad/s CCW. ( mL = 10 cm/cm)
Draw the velocity diagram and hence find 3, 6, vE, and vD.
