Q2. Mechanism on a slippery slope. Two uniform bars AB and BC, each of mass m, are connected to each other via a hinge at B and to an inclined plane via a hinge at A. Point C slides on the inclined plane. There is no friction or other dissipation anywhere in the system. The mechanism is released from the configuration shown. Determine the angular velocity w of AB when the bars become collinear. Hint: Total mechanical energy of the system of two rigid bodies is conserved. B b 45° 45 45°

Forms of Energy

Energy is described as the capability to accomplish a task, like the ability to push a block by applying force on it. It is a quantitative property that is used to accomplish work on an object.
