Question
Download Solution PDFCoriolis component of acceleration depends on
1. angular velocity of the link
2. acceleration of the slider
3. angular acceleration of the link
Which of the above is/are correct?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFCoriolis component of acceleration exists when there is a sliding motion of a slider which is sliding on a link which itself is rotating.
The magnitude of the Coriolis component of acceleration is given by
ac = 2Vω
Where V is the velocity of the slider sliding on the rotating link
and ω is the angular velocity of the slider.
The direction can be found by following steps
- The sense of ω is taken,
- and the velocity vector is rotated in that sense by 90°.
