(b) (d)

Figure 3. 3A shows the plot of the change in position of the grounded slider. 3b shows the plot of the change in velocity of the grounded slider. 3c shows the plot of the change in angular acceleration of the rocker. 3d shows the plot of the change in linear acceleration of the grounded slider. The input angular velocity was omega2 = 10 rad/s. The MATLAB code used is shown in the appendix.
