Question

What is the instantaneous center of zero velocity? List two approaches for determining the is the instantaneous center of zero velocity

Answer 1

Explanation:

Instantaneous center:

   It is the center about a body moves in planer motion.The velocity of Instantaneous center is zero and Instantaneous center can be lie out side or inside the body.About this center every particle of a body rotates.

From the diagram

Where these two lines will cut then it will the I-Center.Point A and B is moving perpendicular to the point I.

If we take three link link1,link2 and link3 then I center of these three link will be in one straight line It means that they will be co-linear.

$I_{12},I_{23},I_{31} all\ are\ co-linear.$
