The cam $\backslash ($ O A B $\backslash )$ rotates with a constant counterclockwise angular velocity $\backslash (\backslash$omega $\backslash ).($Figure $1)$

Part A

Determine the velocity of the follower rod $\backslash ($ C D $\backslash )$ as a function of $\backslash (\backslash$theta $\backslash )$ when the contact between the cam and follower is along the straight region $\backslash ($ A B $\backslash )$ on the face of the cam.

Express your answer in terms of some or all of the variables $\backslash ($ r$,\backslash$omega $\backslash )$ and $\backslash (\backslash$theta $\backslash ).$

Correct

Here we learn how to determine the velocity of a body that is moving linearly using absolute motion analysis.

Part B

Determine the acceleration of the follower rod $\backslash ($ C D $\backslash )$ as a function of $\backslash (\backslash$theta $\backslash )$ when the contact between the cam and follower is along the straight region $\backslash ($ A B $\backslash )$ on the face of the cam. Express your answer in terms of some or all of the variables $\backslash ($ r$,\backslash$omega $\backslash )$ and $\backslash (\backslash$theta $\backslash ).$
