Rod AB is attached to collars at its ends by using ball- and-socket joints. If collar A moves along the fixed rod at v_A = 5 m/s, determine the angular velocity of the rod and the velocity of collar B at the instant shown. Assume that the rod’s angular velocity is directed perpendicular to the axis of the rod.
