The graph shows the rectilinear acceleration of a particle as a function of time over a

12-second interval. If the particle is at rest at the position s0 = 0 at time t = 0, determine

the velocity of the particle when

A) t = 4s

B) t = 8s

C) t = 12s
 The member OA of the industrial robot telescopes and pivots about the fixed axis at point O. At
the instant shown, 𝜃 = 60°, 𝜃̇=1.2rad/s, 𝜃̈=0.8 rad/s2 , ̅O̅ A̅ = 0.9 m, ̅O̅ A ̇̅ = 0.5 m/s, and ̅O̅ A ̈̅ =−6
m/s2 . Determine the magnitudes of the velocity and acceleration of joint A of the robot. Also,
sketch the velocity and acceleration of A and determine the angles which these vectors make
with the positive x-axis. The base of the robot does not revolve about a vertical axis
