Each of the bars A and B has a mass of 10 kg and slides in its horizontal guideway with negligible friction. Motion is controlled by the lever of negligible mass connected to the bars as shown. Calculate the acceleration of point C on the lever when the 200-N force is applied as indicated. To verify your result, analyze the kinetics of each member separately and determine a_C by kinematic considerations from the calculated accelerations of the two bars.
