Question:

The robot shown has five degrees of rotational freedom. The x-y-z axes are attached to the base ring, which rotates about the z-axis at the rate w1. The arm O1O2 rotates about the x-axis at the rate w2 = θ˙. The control arm O2A rotates about axis O1-O2 at the rate w3 and about a perpendicular axis through O2 which is momentarily parallel to the x-axis at the rate w4 = β˙ . Finally, the jaws rotate about axis O2-A at the rate w5. The magnitudes of all angular rates are constant. For the configuration shown, determine the magnitude w of the total angular velocity of the jaws for θ = 60° and β = 45° if w1 = 2 rad/s, θ ˙ = 1.5 rad/s, and w3 = w4 = w5 = 0. Also express the angular acceleration a of arm O1O2 as a vector.
