Figure 6.56 shows the ant from Problem 6.2 is now crawling at a speed of 10 mm/s from point C to point B and speeding up at a rate of 5 mm/s2. The length AB and BC are both 200mm. Link AB rotates at 10 rpm clockwise and link BC rotates at 20 rpm counterclockwise and both links are speeding up at a rate of 1 rad/s2. At the time of interest the ant is 150mm from point B. Find the total acceleration of the ant.

Problem 6.2

Figure 6.54 shows an ant crawling at a speed of 10 mm/s outward on a link that is rotating at 2rad/s in the counterclockwise direction. At the time of interest, the ant is located at a distance of 50mm from the center of rotation. What is the total acceleration of the ant?
