Problem 6.21
The rectangular block is attached to a rod that runs through the
block along a diagonal. The rod is mounted in bearings at
A
and
B
that allow it to rotate about its own axis. The given dimensions are
hD8:5 cm
,
`D20 cm
, and
dD22 cm
. Express all your answers
using the component system shown.
If, at the instant shown, the rod is rotating with an angular speed
of
50 rad=s
, it is increasing at a rate of
10 rad=s2
, and the rotation is
counterclockwise as viewed from
A
looking toward
B
, determine
the velocity and acceleration of point C.
2O{C`
2O
As for the angular velocity and angular acceleration of the bar, since its axis of rotation is the line
AB
and its
angular velocity is counterclockwise as viewed from Ato B, we can write E!band E˛bas
