Theory of Machines Miscellaneous

  1. Block 2 slides outward on link 1 at a uniform velocity of 6 m/s as shown in the figure. Link 1 is rotating at a constant angular velocity of 20 radian/s counterclockwise. The magnitude of the total acceleration (in m/s²) of point P of the block with respect to fixed point O is ______.
    1. 244 m/s²
    2. 243.310 m/s²
    3. 245.290 m/s²
    4. 246.990 m/s²
Correct Option: B


v = 6 m/s
ω = 20 rad/s
Here the centripetal and coriolis acceleration will exist.

Total acceleration QP = √40² + 240²
= 243.310 m/s²
