3.79 A rod is pinned at A and B to the centers of two small rollers. (See Figure P3.79.) The speed of A is kept constant at $v_0$ even after B encounters the parabolic surface. Find the acceleration of B just after its roller begins to move on the parabola.

Step 1
First, let's consider the motion of point A. Since its speed is kept constant at v0, we can say that its acceleration is zero. This is because acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, and if the velocity is constant, there is no change and therefore no Show more…

A $1-1 b$ ball $A$ and a $2-$ lb ball $B$ are mounted on a horizontal rod that rotates freely about a vertical shaft. The balls are held in the positions shown by pins. The pin holding $B$ is suddenly removed and the ball moves to position $C$ as the rod rotates. Neglecting friction and the mass of the rod and knowing that the initial speed of $A$ is $v_{A}=$ $8 \mathrm{ft} / \mathrm{s}$, determine $(a)$ the radial and transverse components of the acceleration of ball $B$ immediately after the pin is removed, $(b)$ the acceleration of ball $B$ relative to the rod at that instant, (c) the speed of ball $A$ after ball $B$ has reached the stop at $C .$
