Hello community. I have a task from my college and no matter how hard i tried i failed to find a solution for it. The task itself is resolvable (by drawing) but i can't figure the mathematical way to solve it. And it bothers me so bad.
So i have this kinematics mechanism. At the OA lever i have a known constant velocity, let's say - ω with direction counter clockwise around point O. I have given these dimensions: OA, AB, AD, DB1 and h aswell. My task is to determine the lowest position of element/point B1. Of course i plotted enough points and determined that (see the picture)... but there should be mathematical way to determine this. And i can't find it.
Initialy i thought... the lowest position of B1 is when OA is alongside to DB1. But i was wrong. Then i thought that if the velocity that occurs at point D is perpendicular to DB1 then the velocity at point B1 will be equal to 0. But this solution does not match with the position from the picture either.
