MAE 2600 (SP2012) Quiz #24 Solutions

Q24A. At the instant shown, ball B is rolling along the slot in the disk with a velocity of 0.2
m/s, measured relative to the disk and directed away from O. If at the same instant the disk has
the angular velocity shown, determine the velocity of the ball at this instant.

vB = vO +  x rB/O + (vB/O)xy

vO = 0,  = 2 k, rB/O = 0.4 i, (vB/O)xy = 0.2 i

vB = vO +  x rB/O + (vB/O)xy
= 0 + (2 k) x (0.4 i) + (0.2 i) = (0.2 i + 0.8 j) m/s Ans.

Q24B. At the instant  = 60, link DC has an angular velocity of CD = 2 rad/s. Determine
the angular velocity of rod AB at this instant, using the x-y coordinates shown in the figure.
The collar at C is pin connected to DC and slides over AB.

For link CD:

 = - 2 k, rC/D = 2 sin 60 i + 2 cos 60 j = 1.732 i + 1 j
vC = vD +  x rC/D = 0 + (- 2 k) x (1.732 i + 1 j) = 2 i - 3.464 j
For link AB:
vA = 0,  = AB k, rC/A = - 3 i, (vC/A)xy = vC/A i
vC = vA +  x rC/A + (vC/A)xy
2 i - 3.464 j = 0 + (AB k) x (- 3 i) + vC/A i = - 3AB j + vC/A i
(i): vC/A = 2 ft/s
(j): 3.464 = 3AB  AB = 1.15 rad/s (CCW) Ans.
