    Two rods with fixed angle, find the velocity of the crossing point

    I apologize if this is a stupid question but how come we can't just say that for part (a) v_A = -v_1 j hat, and for (b) v_A=v2 sintheta i hat + (-v1-v2cos theta) j hat? i.e. how come we can't just do vector decomposition "normally"? I am especially confused about the given solution in (a) where...
