Dynamics: Angular Velocity Problem

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a problem involving angular velocity, where the user is trying to determine the angular velocity (omega) given a velocity (Va) of 1.4 m/s. The user has attempted to break down the problem using a Free Body Diagram and vector triangle but is struggling to find the relative velocity (Vb/a) due to an unknown variable. Other participants suggest uploading the image of the diagram to an image-sharing site for better assistance. The conversation emphasizes the need for clarity in visual aids to facilitate problem-solving. Overall, the user is seeking help to resolve the angular velocity problem effectively.

Hi there! I'm doing a particular question which is the angular velocity and I got stuck there halfway through.

Homework Statement



Find the angular velocity omega

*see attachment

Va = 1.4m/s to the left

Homework Equations



Vb/a = l * omegaAB

Vb = Va + Vb/a

The Attempt at a Solution



I have split the whole Free Body Diagram into the translation and rotation, with the A fixed. And I have constructed the vector triangle. However, I couldn't find Vb/a because there is another unknown there.

Anyone can help? Thanks very much. :)

ur image is pending approval and hence i can't see it now.. and can't really help you. So.. why don't u upload your image to some image sharing site like: http://imageshack.us and provide the link here. It'll be faster than to wait for the image to be approved.
 
Look at this. Your attempt was not good. I think that you can solve your problem now.
