3.A mechanical sliding mechanism is designed for two arms to move the roller at point C along the ground. A force
F = 100 N is applied at the connecting link. The long arm OA has length li = 50 mm and the short arm has length l2 = 42.43 mm. A restoring force, R, is applied to prevent the system from accelerating
a.What angle,1,would the restoring force be R=0?
b.When the system is in the given configuration above, what is the restoring force R?
