What form of equation is used to determine the acceleration

What form of equation is used to determine the acceleration unknowns? How many vectors can this equation include? How many unknowns can it be solved for in the 2D case? What are the unknowns when conducting an acceleration analysis of a mechanism?

Solution

1) Newtonian equation of form is used to determine the acceleration unknown. There may be two (or) three vectors included in the equation. Number of unknowns can be 2 to 3.

2)When conducting an acceleration analysis of mechanism then the unknows are initial and final velocity and the time taken.
