Step 2 of 3

Assume the displacement of the collar B be x from the origin of the coordinate system and y is
the displacement of the collar A from the origin. The collars are restricted to slide on the rod in
the direction of coordinate axes and thus their velocities are along the coordinate axes.

The link length AB is always the hypotenuse of the right angled triangle made of points O, A and
B.

From the Pythagorean Theorem, Write the following equation:

…… (2)

If x is the displacement of collar B, then the derivative of the displacement is the velocity of
block and second order derivative of the displacement is the acceleration of collar B.

In the same way, if y is the displacement of collar A, then the derivative of this displacement
is the velocity of block and second order derivative of the displacement is the acceleration
of collar A.

Substitute .

Step 3 of 3

Differentiate the equation (2) with respect to time t.

Substitute .

Collar A is given constant velocity and thus the acceleration of collar A is zero.

Substitute .

From equation (3), substitute .

Substitute (rearrange equation (1) to eliminate x).

Therefore, the acceleration of the collar B is .
