16–73 If the slider block A is moving downward at vA =4m/s

Problem 16–73
If the slider block A is moving downward at vA = 4 m/s*, determine the *velocity of point E at the instant shown.

In this video, we solve Problem 16–73 using the principles of rigid body kinematics and *general plane motion*.

The solution is presented in a *clear, step-by-step manner*, beginning with the given velocity of slider block *A*. The analysis then proceeds by:

Identifying the kinematic configuration of the mechanism at the instant shown
Applying the relative velocity equation for connected rigid bodies
Relating the translational motion of slider A to the motion of the connecting links
Determining the velocity relationship between the links and point E
Constructing a clear velocity diagram
Resolving velocity components based on geometry
Determining the magnitude and direction of the velocity of point E

This problem is essential for understanding how slider motion is transmitted through a mechanism to determine the velocity of a specific point in general plane motion.

This video is especially useful for:

Mechanical Engineering students
Engineering Mechanics (Dynamics) courses
Rigid Body Kinematics
Slider–link mechanism problems
Velocity analysis of points on rigid bodies
