Advanced Mechanics › Rotational MotionKinematics of a Rod on a Rotating Disk
As shown in the figure, a large horizontal disk of radius R rotates about a fixed vertical axis O with a constant angular velocity ω. A second vertical axis O₁ is fixed on the disk at a distance $|OO_1| = R/2$. A rigid rod O₁P of length $l = R/2$ is pivoted at O₁ and rotates with a constant angular velocity ω' = ω relative to the disk. The position of the rod relative to the disk is given by the angle φ between the line segment OO₁ and the rod O₁P. At time t=0, φ=0, meaning O, O₁, and P are collinear.
- Determine the absolute velocity $\vec{v}P$ and the absolute acceleration $\vec{a}P$ of the endpoint P when φ is 90 degree.
- Determine the angle φ when the absolute velocity and acceleration are maximum.
