Question: Problem # 1 : ( 3 5 points ) The collar B shown in Figure 1 slides along rod O A of length 3 mm

Problem #1: (35 points) The collar B shown in Figure 1 slides along rod OA of length 3 mm in
such a way that its radial distance r(t) from pivot point O is given (in mm ) by:
r(t)=10(6+t)
(where time t is in seconds). The angular position =(t) of rodOA (where is in radians as
measured from the vertical direction) is given (in radians) by:
(t)=4sint
(Note: In the x-y coordinate system not shown in Figure 1, the x-coordinate measures vertical
distances below point O, and the y-coordinate measures horizontal distances to the right of point
O.)
a) Find the velocity vector v of collar B at time t=.25s. Express the result in polar coordinates
in terms of the unit vectors ur and u in the radial and angular directions, respectively. Sketch
the vector v and find the angle that v makes with the positive (vertical)x-direction.
b) Find the acceleration vector a of collar B at time t=.25s. Express the result in polar
coordinates in terms of the unit vectors ur and u in the radial and angular directions,
respectively. Sketch the vector a and find the angle that a makes with the positive
(vertical)x-direction.
c) Determine the magnitude v of the velocity and the magnitude a of the acceleration of B when
the t=.25s.
d) Find the velocity vBA of collar B relative end A at t=.25s. Express the result in terms of
the unit vectors ur and u in the radial and angular directions, respectively.
e) Find the acceleration aBA of collar B relative end A at t=.25s. Express the result in terms
of the unit vectors ur and u in the radial and angular directions, respectively.
