HW05-#3 Guide A vertical slotted guide moves horizontally at a constant dx velocity Vx= x= 15 in/sec. Pin P is currently at x = 6 dt inches and moves along with

the guide as confined by the parabolic slot (equation given in drawing). A. Draw a kinematic (motion) diagram of the pin P include: 1. the Cartesian (x-y) and tangent-normal (t-n) 10" coordinate systems and 2. the velocity and acceleration of P in t-n vector components B. Find: 1. The total magnitude of the velocity of P 2. The vector component vy (or dy/dt) of P 3. The vector component ay (or d²y/dt²) of P Ans: B1. vp = 23.43 in/s, B2. vy = -18 in/s, B3. ay = : -45 in/s² y = 10 -0.1x² P 10"- Fixed parabolic slot X
