a) Calculate the position and orientation of the end-effector if l1 = 650 mm, l2 = 480 mm and
the variables take the values θ1 = 90°, θ2 = 60°, θ3 = -30°, θ4 = 90° and θ5 = -90°.

𝜃𝜃4 = 𝜃𝜃234 − 𝜃𝜃2 − 𝜃𝜃3
Because equations 1 and 2 can take two values each, there are four possible solutions.
b) Check that the equations can give the original solution and calculate, at least, one of the
other possibilities.

a) In the case of 𝜃𝜃̇1 = 2 rad/s, 𝜃𝜃̇2 = 1.3 rad/s and 𝜃𝜃̇3 = -0,8 rad/s, give the velocity vector of the
end-effector.
b) Use the transpose of the jacobian to solve for the torques to be applied at each joint in
order to resist a load of Fx = 100 N, Fy = 100 N, Fz = 100 N and Mx = 0 Nmm, My = 0 Nmm,
Mz = 5 Nmm applied on the end-effector.
