In Prob. 15.201, the speed of point B is known to be constant. For the position shown determine (a) the angular acceleration of the guide arm, (b) the acceleration of point C.
(a)
Angular acceleration of guide arm
Answer to Problem 15.202P
The angular acceleration
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Rod OA slides in straight inclined slot.
Rod OB slides in slot parallel to z axis.
The vector product of angular velocity
The acceleration
Calculation:
Rod OA slides in a slope of 1:2.
Hence
Angular velocity
The velocity
Equate components
Therefore
Velocity
Equate components
But we know that
Therefore
And
Angular velocity
The velocity
The position vector
The velocity
The acceleration
Equate components
Therefore
The acceleration
Equate components
But we know that
Therefore
The angular acceleration
Conclusion:
The angular acceleration
(b)
Acceleration of point C
Answer to Problem 15.202P
The acceleration
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Rod OA slides in straight inclined slot.
Rod OB slides in slot parallel to z axis.
The vector product of angular velocity
