Problem 6.95
In the mechanism shown, the block
B
is constrained to move vertically
and is attached to the bar
BD
. The point
A
on the bar
AD
is fixed.
Express all your answers in the component system shown.
At the instant shown, bar
AD
is rotating counterclockwise at a con-
stant angular speed
!AD D13 rad=s
,
D45ı
, and
D30ı
. If
`D24 in:
and
dD16 in:
, determine the acceleration of the block
B
at
this instant.
Proceeding similarly to the way we did with velocities, we relate the acceleration of
D
to points
B
and
A
