Example: The figure below shows a model of the
shoulder socket at A (fixed point), upper
arm,
AB, lower arm BC, and a spinning disk of radius r
with center at C. Point P
of the
disk
is directly to the right of C. The elbow at B is bent at 90o. The following data:
AB
= 0.45 m, BC = 0.675 m, r = 0.1 m, ω1
= 5 k
rad/sec, α1
= 0 k
rad/sec2 ,
ω2 =
3 k rad/sec,
α2 = ˗
2 k rad/sec2 , ω3
= ˗ 5 k rad/sec
, α3 = ˗
1 k rad/sec2
Find
the acceleration of P at this instant.
Find the acceleration of P relative to B.
