Question: Several rods are brazed together to form the robotic guide arm shown which is attached to a ball-and-socket joint at O. Rod OA slides in

Several rods are brazed together to form the robotic guide arm shown which is attached to a ball-and-socket joint at O. Rod OA slides in a straight inclined slot while rod OB slides in a slot parallel to the z axis. Knowing that at the instant shown vB = (9 in./s),B=vk determine 

(a) The angular velocity of the guide arm, 

(b) The velocity of Point A, 

(c) The velocity of Point C.
