The pendulum consists of two rods: AB is pin supported at A and swings only in the y-z plane, whereas a bearing at B allows the attached rod BD to spin about rod AB. At a given instant, the rods have the angular motions shown. Also, a collar C has velocity v_C and acceleration a_C along the rod. Determine the velocity and acceleration of the collar at this instant. Solve by fixing the x, y, z axes to rod BD in which case the collar appears only to have radial motion.
