Homework Statement
Why is the angular velocity of link BD the same as the angular velocity of ICD?
Shouldn't it be ωICD=vD/rD/IC?
The discussion centers on the relationship between the angular velocity of link BD and the instantaneous center of zero velocity (ICD). It is established that the angular velocity of link BD is indeed the same as that of ICD due to the rigid body nature of BD, which ensures all points share the same angular velocity. The calculation of angular velocity for point D is highlighted as the most straightforward approach, reinforcing the conclusion that if ICD were fixed to BD, their angular velocities would align.
PREREQUISITESMechanical engineers, students studying kinematics, and professionals involved in robotics and linkage design will benefit from this discussion.
