Problem 4: Two blocks, A and B, are pin connected by a 2 m rod and traveling along a horizontal plane. The speed and magnitude of acceleration of block B are known. The direction of the velocity and acceleration of block B indicates are indicated in Figure 4. y ட. ) 30° A Figure 4: Two blocks connected by rod. 60° v = 5 m/sec a = 2 m/sec² B Problem 5: We have the same information as in Problem 4, but now we are told that the mass of block A is 2 kg and the mass of block B is 4 kg. The mass of the thin rod is 1 kg. Given this information, find the forces (support reactions) acting on the pins at A and B.
