Figure 1. PMKS software simulation. 

Figure 2a and 2b. Hand written calculations to find acceleration, velocity, and position of grounded slider when theta2 = 134.1 degrees and omega2 = 10 rad/sec.

                                                 (a)                                                                       (c)

                                           (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.
