State the maximum absolute value of each angular velocity and the value of \(\theta\) at which it occurs.

Bar OA rotates about the fixed pivot O with constant angular velocity \(\dot{\beta}=0.8\) rad/s. Pin A is fixed to bar OA and is engaged in the slot of member BD, which rotates about a fixed axis through point B. Determine and plot over the range \(0 \leq \beta \leq 360^{\circ}\) the angular velocity and angular acceleration of BD and the velocity and acceleration of pin A relative to member BD. State the magnitude and direction of the acceleration of pin A relative to member BD for \(\beta=180^{\circ}\).

For the slider-crank configuration shown, derive the expression for the velocity \(v_{A}\) of the piston (taken positive to the right) as a function of \(\theta\). Substitute the numerical data of Sample Problem 5/15 and calculate \(v_{A}\) as a function of \(\theta\) for \(0 \leq \theta \leq 180^{\circ}\). Plot \(v_{A}\) versus and find its maximum magnitude and the corresponding value of \(\theta\). (By symmetry anticipate the results for \(180^{\circ} \leq \theta \leq 360^{\circ}\).)

For the slider-crank of Prob. 5/211, derive the expression for the acceleration \(a_{A}\) of the piston (taken positive to the right) as a function of \(\theta\) for \(\omega=\dot{\theta}=\) constant. Substitute the numerical data of Sample Problem 5/15 and calculate \(a_{A}\) as a function of \(\theta\) for \(0 \leq \theta \leq 180^{\circ}\). Plot \(a_{A}\) versus \(\theta\) and find the value of \(\theta\) for which \(a_{A}=0\). (By symmetry anticipate the results for \(180^{\circ} \leq \theta \leq 360^{\circ}\).)
