The crane’s telescopic boom rotates with the angular
velocity and angular acceleration shown. At the same
instant, the boom is extending with a constant speed of
, measured relative to the boom. Determine the
magnitudes of the velocity and acceleration of point Bat
this instant.

coincides with the XY fixed reference frame at the instant considered, Fig. a.Thus, the
motion of the xy frame with respect to the XY frame is
Velocity:Applying the relative velocity equation,
Thus, the magnitude of vB,Fig. b,is
Acceleration: Applying the relative acceleration equation,
Ans:
