QUESTION:

The vertical-axis wind turbine consists of two blades that have a parabolic shape. If the blades are originally at rest and begin to turn with a constant angular acceleration of \(\alpha_{c}=0.5 \mathrm{rad} / \mathrm{s}^{2}\), determine the magnitude of the velocity and acceleration of points A and B on the blade when t = 4 s.
