Motion of link ABC is controlled by the horizontal movement of the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder D and by the vertical guide for the pinned slider at B. For the instant when θ = 45°, the piston rod is retracting at the constant rate v_C = 0.6 ft/sec. Determine the acceleration of point A for this instant.
