Roberts linkage is named after Richard Roberts (1789-1864) and can be used to draw a close approximation to a straight line by locating a pen at point F. The distance AB is the same as BF, DF, and DE. Knowing that at the instant shown bar AB has a constant angular velocity of 4 rad/s clockwise, determine (a) the angular acceleration of bar DE, (b) the acceleration of point F.
