SOLUTION
Velocity. Using the chain rule, the first and second time derivatives of r can be
determined.
The radial and transverse components of the velocity are
Since

s. Thus, at u
Thus, the magnitude of the velocity is
These components are shown in Fig. a

The rod OA rotates clockwise with a constant angular velocity
of 6 rad
s. Two pin-connected slider blocks, located at B, move
freely on OA and the curved rod whose shape is a limaçon
