Angular Velocity and Acceleration

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on determining the velocity and acceleration of point C and the angular acceleration of link BC, given the angular velocity and acceleration of link AB. The known values include the angular velocity w as -2k and angular acceleration α as 2k, with point A having zero velocity and acceleration. The user has calculated point B's velocity as -j but struggles to relate this to link BC's angular parameters. Attempts to apply the equation for acceleration have not yielded a valid solution. The conversation highlights the complexities of linking angular motion to Cartesian vectors in this context.

Homework Statement


Link AB has angular velocity and angular acceleration as shown. Determine the velocity and
acceleration of point C and the angular acceleration of link BC at this instant. Express them as
Cartesian vectors. https://www.physicsforums.com/attachments/41853

Homework Equations



vA = 0
aA = 0
w= -2k
(alpha) =2k

The Attempt at a Solution


I have found that the point b has a velocity of -j

Im not sure how to equate this to the angular velocity of BC or the angular acceleration of BC.

I have used tried applying the ac = (alpha) x rc/b - w2rc/b

but this isn't producing any solution

Thread 'Errors and significant figures'

I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...

Thread 'Calculation of Tensile Forces in Piston-Type Water-Lifting Devices at Elevated Locations'

Figure 1 Overall Structure Diagram Figure 2: Top view of the piston when it is cylindrical A circular opening is created at a height of 5 meters above the water surface. Inside this opening is a sleeve-type piston with a cross-sectional area of 1 square meter. The piston is pulled to the right at a constant speed. The pulling force is（Figure 2）： F = ρshg = 1000 × 1 × 5 × 10 = 50,000 N. Figure 3: Modifying the structure to incorporate a fixed internal piston When I modify the piston...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
