A uniform plate has a weight of 50 lb. Link AB is subjected to a couple moment of M = 10 lb · ft and has a clockwise
angular velocity of 2 rad/s at the instant θ = 30°. Determine
the force developed in link CD and the tangential
component of the acceleration of the plate's mass center at
this instant. Neglect the mass of links AB and CD.
