Oscillating Slider Problem The rod A is held at the constant angle beta = 30 degrees while it rotates about the vertical with constant angular rate of 120 rev/min. Simultaneously, the slider P oscillates along the rod with a variable distance from the fixed pivot O given in inches by R=8+2 sin 2 pint, where the frequency n of oscillation along the rod is a constant 2 cycles per second and where the time t is in seconds. Calculate the magnitude of the acceleration of the slider for an instant when its velocity R-dot along the rod is a maximum. This problem asks for the magnitude of acceleration of the slider at the instant its velocity along the rod is at a maximum. We will use ADAMS to create a model with the given conditions and collect the data needed. Problem 2/239 from J. L. Meriam and L. G. Kraige, Engineering Mechanics: Volume 2, Dynamics 3 rd edition.

Best Practices • Make sure correct units are set to ips and the viewing

Best Practices • Make sure correct units are set to ips and the viewing area is zoomed in or out enough to see the model. It may be helpful to set the working grid to "1 i" spacing under the Settings menu. • Make sure gravity is turned off. • Make sure the revolute joint is in the y direction. • Check dimensions of the part to make sure they are correct. • Make sure the measures are set correctly. • Make sure the plot is displaying the correct set of results. • Make sure there are enough output steps to observe the angular velocity of AB and BC at the correct time. 17
