Problem 10.19
The T-bar support structure is mounted in bearings at
C
and
D
and spins with angular velocity
E!s
and angular acceleration
E˛s
in the directions shown. Bar
AB
of length
L
is pinned at
A
to
the T-bar support, and its position in the vertical plane is defined
by the variable angle
ˇ
. As we will see in the next section, the
Newton-Euler equations for the bar will require that we know the
acceleration of
G
, the angular velocity of the bar
AB
, and the
angular acceleration of the bar
AB
relative to the primary frame
XYZ
, which is assumed to be inertial. Express your answers in
the
xy´
frame shown, which is attached to the T-bar support at
A
.

Find expressions for
EaG

E!AB
, and
E˛AB
assuming that

.
Solution
The acceleration of Gcan be found by relating it to the acceleration of Ausing
EaGDEaACE˛AB ⇥ErG=A CE!AB ⇥E!AB ⇥ErG=A;(1)
where
E!AB
is the angular velocity of the bar
AB
and
E˛AB
is its angular acceleration. Since
