A slotted link is rotating about fixed pivot O with a counterclockwise angular velocity of 3 rad/s, and a clockwise angular acceleration of 2 rad/s2. The movement of the link is causing a rod to slide along the curved channel, as shown. The radius of the channel as a function of ? is given by, R = 0.7? (with R in meters and ? in radians). Determine the radial and circumferential velocity and acceleration components of the rod at ? = 45° .
