Question

In the mechanism shown in figure the linear velocity V = 10m/sec and angular velocity $\omega =2rad/sec$. The Coriolis acceleration of the point P on the slider is

• A. $20m/se{c}^2$ in the direction of $\omega$
• B. $40m/se{c}^2$ in the direction opposite to $\omega$
• C. $40m/se{c}^2$ in the direction of $\omega$
• D. $20m/se{c}^2$ in the direction opposite to $\omega$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $40m/se{c}^2$ in the direction opposite to $\omega$


$\omega =2rad/sec$

$V=10m/s$

Coriolos acceleration of point P on slider is

$a_p=2\omega V$

$=2\times 2\times 10$

$=40m/s^2$ in direction opposite of $\omega$
