Question: Problem # 2 : ( 3 5 points ) The collar B shown in Figure 2 slides along rod O A in such a way

Problem #2: (35 points) The collar B shown in Figure 2 slides along rod OA in such a way that its
radial distance r(t) from pivot point O is given (in m) by:
r(t)=0.50+0.30t2
where r is in meters and 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)=0.20t3
where is in radians and t is in seconds.
a) Find the time t(in seconds) at which the angle is equal to 55.(Note: convert degrees to
radians.)
b) Find the velocity vector v of collar B when is equal to 55. Express the result in polar
coordinates in terms of the unit vectors ur and u in the radial and angular directions,
respectively.
c) Sketch the vector v of collar B when is equal to 55, determine its magnitude v, and find
the angle that v makes with the radial r-direction.
d) Find the acceleration vector a of collar B when is equal to 55. Express the result in polar
coordinates in terms of the unit vectors ur and u in the radial and angular directions,
respectively.
e) Sketch the vector a of collar B when is equal to 55, determine its magnitude a, and find
the angle that a makes with the radial r-direction.
