Homework Statement



At the instant shown in the figure , the crane's boom has an angle = 33.0 and rotates around the vertical axis with angular velocity = 8.00×10^−2 radians/s that increases at the rate = 7.00×10^−2 radians/s^2. At the same instant, the crane's boom is rotating upward with angular velocity = 3.00×10^−2 that increases at the rate = 5.00×10^−2 . Determine wx, wy, and wz, the i, j, and k components of w, the boom's angular velocity in the fixed reference frame X, Y, Z. The translating-rotating reference frame, x, y, z, lines up with the fixed reference frame at the instant shown.

> The figure shows a crane with the z-axis vertical and the y-axis along the cranes boom. The angular velocity are all rotating counterclockwise. The origin is at the center of the crane.

Homework Equations



vp = wp X rp

vp is the velocity at a point
w is the angular velocity
rp is the position of the vector at a point

The Attempt at a Solution



w = w1 * w2 = (.03i + .08k)rad/s
[tex]\Omega[/tex] = .08k rad/s
w = [tex]w_{12}[/tex] + [tex]\Omega[/tex] X w = (.05i + .07k) + .08k X (.03i + .08k)

=0.05i + 0.0024j + 0.07k

That was my final answer but it is wrong.

How are you taking the acceleration of the crane into account?
 
I'm taking into account the acceleration in my equation but the answer is still not correct:

w = + [tex]\Omega[/tex] X w = (.05i + .07k) + .08k X (.03i + .08k)
