b) Write the closed loop velocity equation.
c) Write the acceleration closed loop equation.
d) Draw free body diagrams (FBDs) for both links.
e) Write D'Alembert's dynamic equations for link 3, assume the link 3 has a reaction torque.
g) Expand the vector equations for link 3 to show vector components, or into individual equations, so that they could be solved. (Do not solve for numerical values)
