When the Ɵ=90o , the acceleration a=-ati-anj
at= r=1.8 m/s2 =6 rad/s2
an= r2=4.8 m/s2 =4 rad/s
The elements of the mechanism for development of a spacecraft magnetometer boom are
shown. Determine the angular velocity of the boom when the driving link OB crosses the y-
axis with an angular velocity OB=0.5 rad/s if tan Ɵ=4/3 at this instant.

Solution rCA= 0.12 i+ 0.16j (tanƟ is given in the problem)
rOB=0.12j
rBA=0.24i+ 0.04j
vA= ACx rCA=ACx(0.12 i+ 0.16j) Velocity of point A
