Instant Center
A point common to two bodies in plane motion, which
has the same instantaneous velocity in each body.
In ENGR 214 we found the instant center between
links 1 and 3 (point on link 3 with no velocity)
Now we also have an instant center between links 2
and 4

Instant Centers
I13 has zero velocity since link
1 is ground
3 is the same all over link 3
Velocity relative to ground=r,
perpendicular to r
VA2=a2=VA3=p3
From this, 3 must be in the
p
opposite direction as 2, and
smaller in magnitude since

I24 has the same velocity on
link 2 and link 4
VI2=l22=VI4=l44
From this, 4 is in the same
direction as 2 and smaller in
magnitude since l4>l2
