Problem 2.209
In the cutting of sheet metal, the robotic arm
OA
needs to move
the cutting tool at
C
counterclockwise at a constant speed
v0
along a circular path of radius
⇢
. The center of the circle is located
in the position shown relative to the base of the robotic arm at
O
.
For all positions along the circular cut (i.e., for any value of
), determine
r

,
Rr
, and
R

as functions of the given quantities
(i.e.,
d
,
h

,
v0
). These quantities can be found “by hand,” but it
is tedious, so you might consider using symbolic algebra software,
such as Mathematica or Maple.
