Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A slotted arm mechanism is rotating at an angular speed of 10 rad/s. A point on the link slides with a relative speed of 4 m/s. Calculate the Coriolis component acting on the point.
💡 Hint: Remember to use the correct multiplication.
In a robotic arm with a crank system, if the angular velocity changes, describe how this affects the Coriolis component concerning a point sliding along the arm.
💡 Hint: Think about how rapid changes in one part of the system affect the rest.
