1 Problem 5/12
The circular disk rotates with a constant angular velocity w = 40rad/sec about
its axis, which is inclined in the y-z plane at the angle Θ = tan−1 34 . Determine
the vector expressions for the velocity and acceleration of point P, whose position
vector at the instant shown is r = 15i + 16j − 12kin. (Check the magnitudes of
your results from the scalar values v = rw and an = rw2 .
