SUMMARY

The discussion revolves around the application of relative velocities in the context of Engineering Mechanics Dynamics, specifically referencing the textbook "Engineering Mechanics Dynamics" by Hibbeler. Participants express confusion regarding the use of an equation that describes motion relative to a rotating frame attached to point B, where the angular velocity (ω) is positioned incorrectly in the textbook's solution. The participants assert that the placement of ω should be consistent throughout the rotating frame, leading to doubts about the accuracy of the textbook's explanation.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of relative velocity concepts in mechanics
  • Familiarity with angular velocity and its implications in rotating frames
  • Knowledge of the principles outlined in "Engineering Mechanics Dynamics" by Hibbeler
  • Basic proficiency in solving dynamics equations
NEXT STEPS
  • Review the section on relative velocities in "Engineering Mechanics Dynamics" by Hibbeler
  • Study the concept of rotating frames and their effects on angular velocity
  • Practice solving problems involving relative motion in rotating systems
  • Explore additional resources on dynamics equations and their applications
USEFUL FOR

Students and professionals in engineering mechanics, particularly those studying dynamics, as well as educators seeking to clarify concepts related to relative velocities and rotating frames.

My friends and I have discussed and have no idea how to solve.
So we looked at the textbook.

We were told to use this equation.

In this equation, A/B means 'A respect to B'
Also, the equation is derived based on an intermediate frame attached to point B, which is rotating at \omega.

In the textbook's solution below, however, the intermediate frame is attached to point B, but the \omega is to the right of the frame (the centre of the prescribed circle). The \omega is no longer about the frame through point B.

Hence, we have our suspicious of the textbook solution.
Anyway has got any idea if we're wrong, or is the textbook wrong?
