The mechanism shown below is used in a distribution center to push boxes along a platform and to a loading area. The input link is driven by an electric motor, which, at the instant shown, has a velocity of 25 rad/s and accelerates at a rate of 450 rad/s2. Knowing that the input link has a length of 250 mm, determine the instantaneous acceleration (m/s2) of the end of the input link in the position shown.

The input link is driven by an electric motor, which, at the instant shown, has a velocity of 25 rad/s and accelerates at a rate of 450 rad/s. Knowing that the input link has a length of 250 mm, determine the instantaneous acceleration (m/s²) of the end of the input link in the position shown. FIGURE SOLUTION 250 mm Input link
