Transcribed Image Text:### Problem 3 (fixed axis, multi-body, external load)
#### Problem Description
Another engineering gizmo includes two identical slender rods \( AB \) and \( BC \) (\( L_{AB} = L_{BC} = 0.5 \, \text{m} \), \( m_{AB} = m_{BC} = 10 \, \text{kg} \)) connected by a pin at \( B \) and by the inextensible, massless cord \( AC \). The angle between the rods is \( \theta = 120^\circ \). The assembly rotates in a vertical plane under the combined effect of gravity and a \( M = 100 \, \text{N} \cdot \text{m} \) couple applied to rod \( AB \). In the position shown, the angular velocity of the assembly is zero.
#### Determine:
a) The angular acceleration of the assembly.
b) The tension in cord \( AC \).
#### Diagram Description
The diagram accompanying the text shows a configuration consisting of two slender rods, \( AB \) and \( BC \), connected at point \( B \). Rod \( AB \) is horizontal, and rod \( BC \) forms an angle \( \theta \) of \( 120^\circ \) with rod \( AB \). The lengths \( L_{AB} \) and \( L_{BC} \) of the rods are both given as \( 0.5 \, \text{m} \). There is a tensile cord \( AC \) linking point \( C \) on rod \( BC \) to point \( A \) on rod \( AB \).
#### Diagram Elements:
- **Rod \( AB \):** Shown horizontally with length \( L_{AB} = 0.5 \, \text{m} \).
- **Rod \( BC \):** Forms an angle \( \theta = 120^\circ \) with rod \( AB \) and has the same length \( L_{BC} = 0.5 \, \text{m} \).
- **Cord \( AC \):** Inextensible and massless, forming a triangle with rods \( AB \) and \( BC \).
- There is a point of pin connection at \( B \).
- The applied couple moment \( M = 100 \, \text{N} \cdot \text{m} \)
