Problem 6.18
The bent rod rotates about an axis connecting points Aand E. All bends
in the rod are
90ı
angles, and the given dimensions are
hD21 cm
,
`D14:5 cm
,
dD21 cm
, and
bD7:6 cm
. Express all your answers
using the component system shown.
If, at the instant shown, the rod is rotating with an angular speed of
15 rad=s
, it is increasing at a rate of
8rad=s2
, and the rotation is clock-
wise as viewed from
A
looking toward
E
, determine the velocity and
acceleration of point C.
