A 2 pound ball is moved in the horizontal plane by a slotted arm rotating with 0 = 4 rad/s and 0 = 8 rad/s . The distance of the ball from the pivot point of the arm is set by a curved slot to be r = Bcos0 with B = 1.00 feet. (This corresponds to a circle with a radius of 0.5 feet and an offset center). r = Bcos0 d = 4 rad/s ¢=8 rad/s2 may r 0.5 ft A. Draw a vector on the figure showing the force of the arm on the ball. N B. Draw a vector on the figure showing the force of the slot on the ball. C. Draw a line on the figure showing the tangent to the path of the ball. 0.5 ft D. Draw vectors on the figure for the polar components of acceleration (times mass) of the ball. E. Find the polar components of the acceleration of the ball when 0 = 30°. ma T r= Cos(@) r =- Sin(@) r =- cus(0) 9 = (r" - r) 82 +rö 90 = 10 +20r Gr= (-cosa-(050) 4+ (-sin R) 8) 90= cos(@)-8-2.42-5.
