The document discusses various methods for analyzing velocities in mechanical systems including:
1) The relative velocity method which determines the velocity difference between two points on different bodies.
2) Rubbing velocity which finds the velocity at a pin joint.
3) Velocity of slip which determines the velocity of points that slide along each other such as in a sliding joint, accounting for the axes of slip and transmission.

When P and A are not on the same body, the resultant vector Is different.
VPA as the Velocity difference
helps find the resultant.
VPA as the relative velocityis
the resultant.
VPA is not perpendicular to
the line joining P andA.

6. Velocity analysis: Velocity of slip
Both the links forming the sliding joint, are not grounded, implying
a floating sliding joint.
Notably, point A belongs to two different bodies, namely, 2&3,
Implying case2: relative velocity.
Axis of Slip: Line along which sliding occurs between links 3 &4.
Axis of transmission: The line along which wecan transmit motion or
force across the slider joint (except friction - assumednegligible)
7. Velocity analysis: Velocity of slip
Intuition: The axis of 3 & 4 have a fixed geometric relationship,
hence the rate of change of 慮3 慮4 will remain the same: 3=4
