Problem 2.260
As a part of a robotics competition, a robotic arm with a rigid
open hand at
C
is to be designed so that the hand catches an
egg without breaking it. The egg is released from rest at
tD0
from point
A
. The arm, initially at rest in the position shown,
starts moving when the egg is released. The hand must catch
the egg without any impact with the egg. This can be done by
specifying that the hand and the egg must be at the same position
at the same time with identical velocities. A student proposes
to do this using a constant value of
R
✓
for which (after a fair bit
of work) it is found that the arm catches the egg at
tD0:4391
s
for
R
✓D13:27 rad=s2
. Using these values of
t
and
R
✓
, determine
the acceleration of both the hand and the egg at the time of catch.
Then, explain whether or not using a constant value of
R
✓
, as has
been proposed, is an acceptable strategy.
