2.15Define a set of vectors that is suitable for a complete kinematic analysis of the rack-and-pinion mechanism. Label and show the sense and orientation of each vector. Assuming rolling with

no slip between rack 4 and pinion 5, write the vector loop equation(s) for the mechanism. Identify suitable input(s), known quantities, unknown variables, and any constraints. If you identify constraints, then write the constraint equation(s).
