Question
In a rigid body in plane motion, the point R is accelerating with respect to point P at 10∠180° m/s2 . If the instantaneous acceleration of point Q is zero, the acceleration (in m/s2 ) of point R is
Options :
8∠233°
10∠225°
10∠217°
8∠217°
Answer :
8∠217°
Solution :
As acceleration of point Q is zero, so this rigion body PQR is hinged at Q.
aRP = aR — aP
is given 10 m/s* an angle of 180°, that means only radial acceleration is hence at
that instant and reference is PR
aRP = (RP)ω² = 10
20ω² = 10
ω = 1/√2
as α of whole body remains same so point R has only radial acceleration at that instant
aR = QRω² = 16*1/2 = 8m/s²
and will be in the horizontal backward design, but our reference is only PR.
So the angle of it from reference is (180 + Θ) .
from ∆PQR tanΘ = 12/16
Θ = 36.87
so, 180+ 36.87 = 216.87
So answer is 82217°
