PROBLEM 3.107
When the couple M is applied to the link in a mechanism, the resulting
forces exerted on the link from a guide and the connecting links are as
shown. Determine (a) the values of M and a so that the applied forces
and couple can be reduced to a single equivalent force whose line of
action passes through points B and D, (b) the equivalent force.
