RELATIVE VELOCITY METHOD

BY GRAPHICAL METHOD
The following points are to be considered while solving problems by this method. 1. Draw the configuration design to a suitable scale. 2. Locate all fixed point in a mechanism as a common point in velocity diagram. 3. Choose a suitable scale for the vector diagram velocity. 4. The velocity vector of each rotating link is r to the link. 5. Velocity of each link in mechanism has both magnitude and direction. Start from a point whose magnitude and direction is known. 6. The points of the velocity diagram are indicated by small letters.
