Homework Statement
A slotted link AC is is driven by the peg P connected to a rotating disk. Point A is fixed. Determine the link's angular velocity, [itex] \omega_{ac}[/itex] and acceleration, [itex] \alpha_{ac}[/itex] when the angular velocity and acceleration are [itex] \omega [/itex] and [itex] \alpha [/itex], respectively.
[itex] \omega = 6 \frac{rad}{s} [/itex] CCW
[itex] \alpha = 10 \frac{rad}{s^2} [/itex] CCW
[itex] l_{ap} = 0.75 \hspace{1 mm} m [/itex]
[itex] r_{op} = 0.30 \hspace{1 mm} m [/itex]
[itex] \theta = \frac{\pi}{6} [/itex]
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
First, I should state that I am genuinely lost on this problem. I am not sure at all how to go about finding the angular velocity for this one. For the acceleration I was thinking that I could perhaps draw an acceleration diagram and attempt to find the solution that way. Maybe I could do something similar for the velocity? I was hoping someone could sort of push me in the right direction/inform me whether there is a better way to solve this rather than a graphical approach. Any help at all is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
