Relative acceleration of the block with respect to the arm


Discuss the below:

Q: A 0.5-kg block B slides without friction inside a slot cut in arm OA which rotates in a vertical plane at a constant rate= 2 rad/s. At the instant when θ=30°, r = 0.6 m and the force exerted on the block by the arm is zero. Determine, at this instant,

(a) The relative velocity of the block with respect to the arm,

(b) The relative acceleration of the block with respect to the arm.
