Given: The particle has a known mass m and is confined to move along the smooth horizontal slot due to the rotation of the rod OA. Also, the rod is rotating with a known constant angular velocity of ė. Assuming the particle contacts only one side of the slot at any instant, Find: a) The radial (v) and transverse components (va) of the particle's velocity at the given instant. b) The radial (a) and transverse components (a) of the particle's acceleration at the given instant. c) Draw the COMPLETE free body diagram (FBD) of the particle's for the position shown using radial (r) and transverse () coordinates d) The force that rod OA exerts on the particle when is known. -0- e) The normal force that the slot exerts on the particle when is known. Solution:
