The flight simulator is mounted on six hydraulic actuators connected in pairs to their attachment points on the underside of the simulator. By programming the actions of the actuators, a variety of flight conditions can be simulated with translational and rotational displacements through a limited range of motion. Axes x-y-z are attached to the simulator with origin B at the center of the volume. For the instant represented, B has a velocity and an acceleration in the horizontal y-direction of 3.2 ft/sec and 4 ft /sec², respectively. Simultaneously, the angular velocities and their time rates of change are w_x = 1.4 rad/sec, w˙_x = 2 rad/sec², w_y = 1.2 rad/sec, w˙_y = 3 rad/sec², w_z = w˙_z = 0. For this instant determine the magnitudes of the velocity and acceleration of point A.
