Squaring the circle the circular arc b around O with radius , it results S'. Bisect the line segment in D and draw the semicircle b over D. Draw a straight line from O through C up to the semicircle b, it cuts b in E. The line segment is the mean proportional between and , also called geometric mean. Extend the line segment beyond O and transfer twice more, it results F and A, and thus the length of the line segment with the above described approximation value of formula_3, the half circumference of the circle. Bisect the line segment in G
Instant centre of rotation and P-B. The direction of speed of point A is indicated by vector V. Its instant center of rotation must be perpendicular to this vector (as V is tangentially located on the circumference of a circle). The only line that fills the requirement is a line colinear with link P-A. Somewhere on this line there is a point P, the instant center of rotation for the body BAC. What applies to point A also applies to point B, therefore this instant center of rotation P is located on a line perpendicular to vector V, a line colinear with link P-B.
