SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on accurately drawing acceleration diagrams that include Coriolis acceleration for mechanisms involving linkages BD, BC, and AB. Calculations use specific values such as angular velocity \(\omega_{BC} = 11.8 \, \text{rad/s}\), angular acceleration \(\alpha_{BC} = 230.8 \, \text{rad/s}^2\), and linear velocities like \(V_D = 8.2 \, \text{m/s}\). The problem involves fixed angles between linkages (e.g., 120° between BD and BC) and sliding points (point B sliding along BC). The key conclusion is that Coriolis acceleration must be incorporated into the acceleration diagram to accurately represent the dynamics of the system.

PREREQUISITES

Homework Statement
Graphically find linear Velocity D & Angular acceleration of Link BC
I'm not confident in my acceleration Diagram because this question should have coriolis acceleration but I don't know how to draw it in acceleration diagram. Help would be appreciated.

$$V_D = 4.1 \, \text{cm} \times (2 \, \text{m/s}) / 1 \, \text{cm} = 8.2 \, \text{m/s}$$

$$\omega_{BC} = \frac{V_{CB}}{r_{BC}} = \frac{9.2}{0.78} = 11.8 \, \text{rad/s}$$

$$V_{CB} = 4.6 \, \text{cm} \times (2 \, \text{m/s}) / 1 \, \text{cm} = 9.2 \, \text{m/s}$$

$$V_{DB} = 1.2 \, \text{cm} \times (2 \, \text{m/s}) / 1 \, \text{cm} = 2.4 \, \text{m/s}$$

$$\alpha_{BC} = \frac{a_t}{r_{BC}} = \frac{180 \, \text{m/s}^2}{0.78 \, \text{m}} = 230.8 \, \text{rad/s}^2$$

$$a_B^n = W_1^2 \times r_{AB} = 160 \, \text{m/s}^2$$

$$a_B^t = 0$$

$$a_{C/B} = V_{B/B}^2 / r_{BC} = 108.5 \, \text{m/s}^2$$

$$a_{D/B} = V_{DB/B}^2 / r_{BD} = 23.04 \, \text{m/s}^2$$

$$a_D^t = \alpha_{BC} \times r_{BD} = 57.7 \, \text{m/s}^2$$

$$a_C^n = W_{BC}^2 \times r_{AC} = 69.62 \, \text{m/s}^2$$

Ans: $$V_D = 8.2 \, \text{m/s}; \quad \alpha_{BC} = 230.8 \, \text{rad/s}^2$$

Just so I am clear on the linkage, the angle of BD to the extension of BC is a fixed 120° and B is free to slide along BC. You are being asked then to find the linear velocity of D and angular velocity of BD when the angle of AB to the extension of AC is 60°. The angular velocity of AB is a constant ##\omega_1##. Is that correct?
