PROBLEM 15.202
In Problem 15.201 the speed of Point B is known to be constant.
For the position shown, determine (a) the angular acceleration of the
guide arm, (b) the acceleration of Point C.
PROBLEM 15.201 Several rods are brazed together to form the
robotic guide arm shown, which is attached to a ball–and–socket joint
at O. Rod OA slides in a straight inclined slot while rod OB slides in a
slot parallel to the z-axis. Knowing that at the instant shown
vB
determine (a) the angular velocity of the guide arm,
(b) the velocity of Point A, (c) the velocity of Point C.
