Problem (2):
A
The acceleration of point A is defined by the
relation a = -1.8 sin(kx), where a and x are
expressed in m/s² and meters, respectively, and
k = 3 rad/m. Knowing that x = 0 and v = 0.6
m/s when t = 0, determine the following:

D
The mechanism shown below is used in a distribution center to push boxes along a platform and to a loading area. The input link is driven by an electric motor, which, at the instant shown, has a velocity of 25 rad/s and accelerates at a rate of 450 rad/s2. Knowing that the input link has a length of 250 mm, determine the instantaneous acceleration (m/s2) of the end of the input link in the position shown.
EXERCISE 4.8 Pin B slides through groove CD in a plate that translates
upward at speed v. The groove forms the parabolic curve y = 300 -
x²/400, where x and y have units of millimeters. In the position shown,
bar AB is rotating clockwise at 40 rad/s, and that rate is decreasing at 160
rad/s². Determine the corresponding values of v and v.
