Problem 10.70
Bar
AB
of length
LAB D2:5
m is attached by a
fork and clevis joint to the collar at
A
and by a ball
joint to the disk at
B
. The disk lies in the
xy
plane,
and its center at
E
lies on the
y
axis in the
y´
plane.
The disk rotates about a vertical axis at the constant
angular rate
!dD100 rpm
. The dimensions
dD
1:2
m,
hD0:9
m, and
RD0:75
m are given. Hint:
The clevis joint constrains the rotation of arm
AB
relative to the collar at
A
to be perpendicular to the
plane formed by bar
CD
and arm
AB
. Therefore,
the angular velocity of arm
AB
is the sum of the
angular velocity of the collar at
A
and the angular
velocity associated with the change in the angle
ˇ
,
which lies in the plane formed by bars CD and AB.
For the disk position shown, that is,
✓D90ı
,
determine the angular acceleration of the bar. Ex-
press your answer in the given component system,
and assume that the angular velocity and angular
acceleration of the bar are orthogonal to it.
Solution
NOTE:
Given that one end of the bar is a fork and clevis joint, the angular velocity of the bar is not necessarily
orthogonal to the bar.
The angular velocity of bar
AB
can be expressed as the sum of the angular velocity of the collar
A
and
the angular velocity of the bar AB relative to the collar A, that is

where
Oupin
is perpendicular to the plane defined by bar
CD
and bar
AB
, with the positive direction defined
by ˇ. Differentiating E!AB , the angular acceleration of bar AB is
