Due to the rotation of the forked rod, the cylindrical
peg A in Fig. travels around the slotted path, a portion
of which is in the shape of a cardioid,
r  0.5(1  cos ) ft,
where  is in radians. If the
peg's velocity is v = 4 ft/s and
its acceleration is a.= 30 ft/s2

Kinetics of a Particle
Force and Acceleration
Newton's Law of Motion
First Law: A particle originally at rest, or moving in

a straight line with a constant velocity, will remain in
this state provided the particle is not subjected to an
unbalanced force.
Second Law: A particle acted upon by an unbalanced
force F experiences an acceleration a that has the
same direction as the force and a magnitude that is
directly proportional to the force.
Third Law: The mutual forces of action and reaction
between two particles are equal, opposite, and
collinear.

Then solving equations (1), (2) and (3)
simultaneously, we get
T  327 N

Hence when block A accelerates downward, block B
accelerates upward.

Since a B is constant, the velocity of block B in 2 s is
