Question:
Two 2.6-lb collars A and B can slide without friction on a frame, consisting of the horizontal rod OE and the vertical rod CD, which is free to rotate about CD. The two collars are connected by a cord running over a pulley that is attached to the frame at O and a stop prevents collar B from moving. The frame is rotating at the rate 10 = ? rad/s and r = 0.6 ft when the stop is removed allowing collar A to move out along rod OE. Neglecting friction and the mass of the frame, determine(a) The tension in the cord and the acceleration of collar A relative to rod OE immediately after the stop is removed,(b) The transverse component of the velocity of collar A when r = 0.9 ft.
