General Plane Motion
a general plane motion can always be considered as
the sum of a translation and a rotation.

The link shown in Fig. is guided by two blocks at A and
B, which move in the fixed slots. If the velocity of A is 2
m/s downward, determine the velocity of B at the
instant q = 45o.

The cylinder shown in Fig. rolls without slipping on
the surface of a conveyor belt which is moving at 2
ft/s. Determine the velocity of point A. The cylinder
has a clockwise angular velocity w = 15 rad/s at the
instant shown.

The collar C in Fig. is moving downward with a
velocity of 2 m/s. Determine the angular velocity of
CB at this instant.
