Question 1: Instantaneous Center of Zero Velocity
▪ Member AB is
rotating at ωAB =
6 rad/s.
▪ Determine the
velocity of point
P and the angular
velocity of
member BPD.

Question 2: Relative Motion Analysis Using Rotating Axes
▪ Water leaves the impeller of the
centrifugal pump with a
velocity of 25 m/s and
acceleration of 30 m/s2, both
measured relative
to the impeller along the blade
line AB.
▪ Determine the velocity and
acceleration of a water particle at
A as it leaves the impeller at the
instant shown. The impeller
rotates with a constant angular
velocity
of ω= 15 rad/s.

Question 3: Acceleration Analysis
• The rod is confined to
move along the path due
to the pins at its ends. At
the instant shown, point A
has the motion shown.
• Determine the velocity
and acceleration of point
B at this instant.
