For this six-bar mechanism we need to construct vector loop equations for kinematic analysis.

(a) Define and show on the figure the necessary vectors and their angles according to our convention.

(b) Construct the corresponding vector loop equation(s).

(c) Transform the vector equations to algebraic equations and state the number of equations.

(d) Identify the variables in these equations and state the number of variables.

(e) How many degrees-of-freedom does this system have? If you subtract the number of equations (algebraic) from the number of variables. what do you get?

(f) Construct the algebraic velocity equations.

(g) Identify the variable velocities in these equations and state the number of variable velocities. Construct the algebraic acceleration equations.

(i) Identify the variable accelerations in these equations and state the number of variable accelerations.
