Transcribed Image Text:### Mechanics Problem: Kinematics of a Rod and Sliders
Consider two sliders connected by a rod of length \( L_1 + L_2 \) moving within the perpendicular slots below. At the instant shown, the slider denoted by \( O' \) is moving downward at a constant speed of \( v_A \) and the angle \( \theta \). The rod simultaneously rotates at a rate of \( \omega = \dot{\theta} \) and with rotational acceleration \( \alpha = \ddot{\theta} \). An inertial reference frame \( \mathcal{I} = \{O, \hat{\imath}_1, \hat{\imath}_2, \hat{\imath}_3\} \) and a translating and rotating body frame \( \mathcal{B} = \{O', \hat{b}_1, \hat{b}_2, \hat{b}_3\} \) are defined as shown.
#### Tasks:
1. **Determine the scalar speed of the slider \( B \), \( v_B \).**
2. **Determine the magnitude of the inertial acceleration of the tip of the rod, \(\| \vec{I}(\vec{a}_{C/O}) \|\).**
Write the angular acceleration and velocity using the symbols \( \alpha \) and \( \omega \) in your answer.
3. **Determine the angular acceleration \( \alpha = \ddot{\theta} \) in terms of the variables given.**
#### Diagram Explanation:
The diagram illustrates a mechanical setup where two sliders are linked by a rod that moves in perpendicular slots. The slider \( O' \) moves vertically downwards with velocity \( v_A \), causing the connected rod to rotate about a point \( O \).
- **Components**:
- \( L_1 \) and \( L_2 \) are the segment lengths of the rod.
- \( \theta \) is the angle formed with the vertical slot.
- \( v_B \) is the velocity of the slider \( B \).
- **Reference Frames**:
- **Inertial Frame \(\mathcal{I}\)**: Defined by base vectors \( \hat{\imath}_1, \hat{\imath}_2, \hat{\imath}_3 \).
- **Body Frame \(\mathcal{B}\)**: Attached to
