The velocity of pin B after rod AB has rotated through 90* is vb = 3.2549 m/s.
<h3>What is Potential and Kinetic energy?</h3>
Potential energy is the energy that is stored in any item or system as a result of its location or component arrangement. The environment outside of the object or system, such as air or height, has no impact on it. In contrast, kinetic energy refers to the energy of moving particles inside a system or an item.
mass of rod, mab = 2.4kg
mass of rod, mbc = 4kg
conservation of energy
potential energy at position 1,
V1 = 2.5 * 9.81 * 0.18 + 4 * 9.81 * 0.18
V1 = 11.30112
kinetic energy T1 at position 1 is zero
potential energy at position 2 is zero
K.E at position 2,
= 1/3 *4 * (0.36)²
=0.10368kg m²
= 1/12 *4 * (0.6)²
=0.12kg m²
on putting the values in above equation we get,
T₂ = 1.0667vb²
0 + 11.30112 = 1.0667vb² + 0
vb = 3.2549 m/s
