The magnitude of velocities of the points on a rigid link is
(a) directly proportional to the distance from the points to the instantaneous centre and is parallel to the line joining the point to the instantaneous centre.
(b) directly proportional to the distance from the points to the instantaneous centre and is perpendicular to the line joining the point to the instantaneous centre.
(c) inversely proportional to the distance from the points to the instantaneous centre and is parallel to the line joining the point to the instantaneous centre.
(d) inversely proportional to the distance from the points to the instantaneous centre and is perpendicular to the line joining the point to the instantaneous centre.
The question was posed to me in exam.
