for the input link is at the origin of the coordinate system. The input angle fin is currently 170⁰
measured from the x axis as shown. The figure is not exactly to scale, but it is reasonably close
for checking purposes.
(a) Calculate the value of the angle flout as shown on the figure. Use the equations developed
from the loop closure method. Note that you will need to incorporate a change of coordinate
axes orientation to the axes defined for the loop closure equations.
(b) Calculate the absolute location of point P with respect to the coordinate axes shown.
