At a given instant the roller A on the bar has the velocity
and acceleration shown. Determine the velocity and
acceleration of the roller B, and the bar’s angular velocity
and angular acceleration at this instant.
SOLUTION
General Plane Motion. The IC of the bar can be located using
and
as shown
in Fig. a. From the geometry of this figure,
Applying the relative acceleration equation, by referring to Fig. b,
Equating i and j components,
The negative signs indicate that
and
