Extracted text: Question 3 (a) (i): In the linkage mechanism shown in Figure Q3 (a), calculate using the relative method, the absolute velocities and accelerations of A and B, and the angular acceleration of link AB, at the instant shown. (ii) Comment on whether the instantaneous centre of zero velocity method and the absolute motion analysis method can be applied to the mechanism shown in Figure Q3 (a). 4 m A B 1 m 6 rad/s 2 m 3 rad/s 2 rad/s Figure Q3 (a): Three rod linkage mechanism
