Question

In the Watt six-bar linkage shown in the figure, link 4 is an equilateral triangle of size L_4=1.0 in. The two supports are located at a distance a=4.0 in. Links 5 and 6 are to be connected. Determine (a) the mobility of the mechanism, (b) the minimum lengths L_3, L_5 and L_6 so link 4 can perform a full rotation, and (c) the type of four-bar mechanism as the result of your design.

The picture of the mechanism can be found on the link. I couldn't upload the picture through here.
