At the instant , the construction lift is rotating about
the zaxis with an angular velocity of and an
angular acceleration of while the
telescopic boom AB rotates about the pin at Awith an
angular velocity of and angular
acceleration of . Simultaneously, the boom
is extending with a velocity of 1.5 ft s, and it has an
acceleration of 0.5 ft s2, both measured relative to the
frame. Determine the velocity and acceleration of point B
located at the end of the boom at this instant.

SOLUTION
The xyz rotating frame is set parallel to the fixed XYZ frame with its origin attached
to point A,Fig.a.Thus, the angular velocity and angular acceleration of this frame
with respect to the XYZ frame are
In order to determine the motion of point Brelative to point A, it is necessary to
establish a second rotating frame that coincides with the xyz frame at the
instant considered, Fig.a. If we set the frame to have an angular velocity of
