The lengths of the links of a 4-bar linkage with revolute pairs only are $$p,q,r$$ and $$s$$ units. Given that $$p < q < r < s.$$ Which of these links should be the fixed one, for obtaining a ‘double crank’ mechanism?

The circular disc shown in its plan view in the figure rotates in a plane parallel to the horizontal plane about the point $$O$$ at a uniform angular velocity $$\omega $$. Two other points $$A$$ and $$B$$ are located on the line $$OZ$$ at distances $${r_A}$$ and $${r_B}$$ from $$O$$ respectively.

The velocity of point $$B$$ with respect to point $$A$$ is a vector of magnitude
