Question

For the configuration shown, the angular velocity of link AB is 10 rad/s counter clockwise. The magnitude of the relative sliding velocity (in ms${}^{-1}$) of slider B with respect to rigid link CD is

• A. 0
• B. 0.86
• C. 1.25
• D. 2.50

Answer 1

The correct option is D 2.50

As AB is perpendicular to slider for given condition, so sliding velocity of slider equals to velocity of link AB
$=\omega \times AB=10\times 0.25=2.5$m/s
