In a crank and slotted lever type quick return mechanism, the link moves with an angular velocity of 20 rad/s, while the slider moves with the linear velocity of 1.5 m/s. The magnitude and direction of Coriolis component of acceleration with respect to angular velocity are
Correct Answer: 60 m/s2 and direction is such as to rotate slider velocity in the same sense as the angular velocity
Magnitude of Coriolis acceleration = 2Vω = 2 x 1.5 x 20 = 60 m/s2 Rotate the link in direction of rotation and see the direction of linear velocity that will be direction of Coriolis acceleration.
