5.
The uniform slender prismatic rod AB of length 2 m. may move freely in a
vertical plane as shown in Figure 5. End A is pinned freely to a block which is
confined to move along the smooth circular groove with its centre at O. End B
rests on the smooth horizontal floor.
If the bar is released from rest with an initial angular acceleration of a = 1.5
rad.s² in the position shown,
(a)
identify the type of ensuing motion of the bar,
(b)
(c)
draw a detailed kinematic diagram of the rod clearly showing all the
acceleration components operating on the rod at the instant of its
release, and
determine the acceleration of end B in both magnitude (clearly indicate
its appropriate unit ) and direction.
You must present all the relevant calculations including any diagrams in
a clear, concise and systematic way.
