Question:

The center O of the spacecraft is moving through space with a constant velocity. During the period of motion prior to stabilization, the spacecraft has a constant rotational rate Ω = 0.5 rad/sec about its z-axis. The x-y-z axes are attached to the body of the craft, and the solar panels rotate about the y-axis at the constant rate θ˙ = 0.25 rad/sec with respect to the spacecraft. If w is the absolute angular velocity of the solar panels, determine w˙. Also fi nd the acceleration of point A when θ = 30°.
