Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

In a machine with a rotating arm, the arm's angular velocity is 4 rad/s. A point on the edge of the arm slides with a relative velocity of 3 m/s. Calculate the Coriolis acceleration and discuss how this could affect the machine's operation.

💡 Hint: Use the formula carefully and think about the implications of high acceleration in the design.

Question 2

A slotted arm mechanism operates at an angular velocity of 5 rad/s. If a slider on this arm suddenly increases its relative velocity to 5 m/s, calculate the Coriolis component and theorize how this change might impact performance.

💡 Hint: Ensure you use the formula for acceleration correctly and consider the mechanical consequences.
