Determine acceleration information about all link lengths and link angles of the quick return mechanism.
Enter the link lengths and unit system you wish to use. Also enter an angular position for the drive link (Θ2) and an angular velocity (ω2) in either degree or radians. The driving link is assumed to have a constant angular velocity because in a real application this would be the desired operating mode, a constant input translated to a non-constant output. If you want to see the numerical results for the slider acceleration (a6), accelerations of points A and B, and the angular accelerations of links 4 and 5 (α4 & α5), choose Option 1. If you want to see a plot of the slider acceleration verses time, choose Option 2. If you would like to see the position of the entire mechanism choose Option 3.
