The test rig shown was developed to perform fatigue testing on fitness trampolines. A motor drives the 9-in.-radius flywheel AB, which is pinned at its center point A, in a counterclockwise direction. The flywheel is attached to slider CD by the 18-in. connecting rod BC. Knowing that the “feet” at D should hit the trampoline twice every second, at the instant when θ = 0°, determine


(a) The angular velocity of the connecting rod BC, 


(b) The velocity of D, 


(c) The velocity of midpoint CB.Fig. P15.59 C B D
