Peg P is driven by the forked link OA along the path described by r = eu, where r is in meters. When u = p4 rad, the link has an angular velocity and angular acceleration of u # = 2 rad>s and u $ = 4 rad>s2. Determine the radial and transverse components of the peg’s acceleration at this instant.

The transverse component of acceleration is 26.32 where as radial the component of acceleration is 8.77

Explanation:

As per the given data

u=π/4 rad

ω=u'=2 rad/s

α=u''=4 rad/s

So the transverse component of acceleration are given as

Here

So

The transverse component of acceleration is 26.32

The radial component is given as

Here

So

The radial component of acceleration is 8.77
