Homework Statement
Hi there, I'm starting with rigid body, and I'm having some trouble with it, so I'll need your help :D
I have this exercise now, but I will probably come with some others later.
The exercise says: The collars A and C glide along the vertical rods and B of the horizontal. If C has a downward speed of 0.2m/seg. when it reaches plotted to determine the angular velocity of the rod AB.
So, what I think I have to do at first, is to determine the speed of B. Is this right? so I've proceeded this way:
[tex]V_c=V_{cm}+\omega\times{R_{c/q}}[/tex]
[tex]R_{c/q}=25\cos45º \hat{i}+25\sin45º \hat{j}[/tex]
With this I would find the omega between B and C, and then the speed of B.
[tex]V_B=V_{cm}+\omega\times{R_{b/q}}[/tex]
What you say?
Bye there and thanks for your help :)
PD: Sorry for the pic. The vertical rods are larger :P
