Link 2 rotates according to the equation = t/4. Block 3 slides outward on link 2

Link 2 rotates according to the equation θ = πt/4.

Block 3 slides outward on link 2 according to the equation r = t 2 + 2. What is the absolute displacement RP3 from t = 1 to t = 2? What is the apparent displacement RP3/2 ?
