    A Slider-Crank & Angular Velocities/Acceleration Problem

    Homework Statement I have posted the problem in an attachment. Homework Equations Aa = Ab + Aab (acceleration at a is equal to the the acceleration of b plus the acceleration of A with respect to B) Aa = ωob x [ωob x Rob] + [αab x Rab] Va = Vb + Vab The Attempt at a Solution...

    Angular Velocities using Relative Velocities

    Would this not be a correct way to go about solving it: -7.5 i m/s = (ωob x rob) + (ωab x rab) Then I could use the values for rob and rab that I found in the original post. Then we would have a system of solvable equations with two unknown (ωob and ωab) set equal to their respective i-...

    Angular Velocities using Relative Velocities

    The question in its entirety is: "For the slider-crank mechanism pictured, determine the angular velocities of links OB and BA if the velocity of the slider at the instant shown is 7.5 m/s to the left." The answers are ωab = -1.92 k rad/s and ωob = 6.52 k rad/s but I'm very confused on how...

    Angular Velocities using Relative Velocities

    Homework Statement I have attached a picture of the diagram of the problem. I am supposed to determine the angular velocities of links OB and BA if the velocity of the slider at the instant shown is 7.5 m/s to the left. Homework Equations Va = Vb + Vab (Velocity of A is equal to the...

    Physics: Vectors & their scalar product

    It was me not understanding what scalar product was in solving this. When the scalar product of PQ is said to be 60, that means that: (8*3) + (5*-4)+(2*-Pz) = 60 Solving that simple equation yields the correct answer of -28.

    Physics: Vectors & their scalar product

    Homework Statement Given the vectors: P = 8i +5j-Pzk m and Q = 3i -4j-2k m Determine the value of Pz so that the scalar product of the two vectors will be 60m2Homework Equations Sure seems like we will need to use the following equation: P * Q = |P| * |Q| * cos ∅ But I don't recall being able...

    Volume of a solid between 2 functions revolved about the x-axis

    Homework Statement Find the volume of a solid bounded by the functions y=1-x2 and y=0 revolved around the x-axis Homework Equations (don't know how to show integrals) A=Pi * the integral from xa to xb of [f(x)]2-[g(x)]2 The Attempt at a Solution First, to find the lower and upper...
