Chapter 2 kinematics of particles Thursday, September 10, 2015: Class Lecture 7 Today s Objective: Constrained Motion of Connected Particles
Dependent Motion Analysis of Two Particles Motion of block B depends on the motion of block A They are interconnected by inflexible cords. For motion analysis, the total length of the cord is calculated from datum planes, established arbitrarily. The direction of motion away from the datum is considered positive, and vice versa. The position of the particles is related by the total length of the cord.
Dependent Motion Analysis of Two Particles A more complicated example: Blacks A and B move along x and y directions. Need two different datum, one each for x and y directions The motion of the particles is related by the cord length. When B moves downward (+ sB), A moves to the left (- sB) with twice the motion.
