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?

BD is a rigid body. All of its points have the same angular velocity. The angular velocity of point D is easiest to compute. If ICD were a rigid body firmly attached to BD, then it would also have the same angular velocity.
