Answer:
a) The angular acceleration of the beam is 0.5 rad/s²CW (direction clockwise due the tangential acceleration is positive)
b) The acceleration of point A is 3.25 m/s²
The acceleration of point E is 0.75 m/s²
Explanation:
a) The relative acceleration of B with respect to D is equal:
Where
aB = absolute acceleration of point B = 2.5 j (m/s²)
aD = absolute acceleration of point D = 1.5 j (m/s²)
(aB/D)n = relative acceleration of point B respect to D (normal direction BD) = 0, no angular velocity of the beam
(aB/D)t = relative acceleration of point B respect to D (tangential direction BD)
We have that
(aB/D)t = BDα
Where α = acceleration of the beam
BDα = 1 m/s²
Where
BD = 2
b) The acceleration of point A is:
(aA/D)t = ADαj
The acceleration of point E is:
(aE/D)t = -EDαj
