    Solving Constant Angular Velocity Homework: Pin Velocity & Acceleration

    Homework Statement Given the above diagram and that the arm R swings at a constant angular velocity theta dot (dtheta/dt), we are to solve for the velocity of the pin and the acceleration of the pin. Homework Equations h= (theta dot)*r^2 dtheta/dt = v v= (theta dot) * dr/dtThe Attempt at a...
