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.
