- A 0.5-kg block B slides without friction inside a slot cut in arm OA that rotates in a vertical plane. The rod has a constant angular acceleration 0= 10 rad/s2. Knowing that when 0= 45° and r= 0.8 m the velocity of the block is zero, determine at this instant, (a) the force exerted on the block by the arm, (b) the relative acceleration of the block with respect to the arm.arrow_forwardThe 15-kg block B is supported by the 25-kg block A and is attached to a cord to which a 225-N horizontal force is applied as shown. Neglecting friction, determine (a) the acceleration of block A, (b) the acceleration of block B relative to A.arrow_forwardBoxes A and B are at rest on a conveyor belt that is initially at rest.
