Question: Pin P is attached to the collar shown; the motion of the pin is guided by a slot cut in bar BD and by the collar that slides on rod AE. Rod AE rotates with a constant angular velocity of 5 rad/s clockwise and the distance from A to P increases at a constant rate of 2 m/s. Determine at the instant shown (a) the angular acceleration of bar BD, (b) the relative acceleration of pin P with respect to bar BD.

Note: A diagram is attached.
Let at the instant the AE rod makes an angle theta with the vertical and Bd makes phi with the horizontal, point P be at distance r from A, BP = r', AB = s.
The velocity of point P along the bar AE:
v||AE = u = dr/dt = 2 m/s
The velocity of point P perpendicular to bar AE:
v_perpAE = w*r
Where w = angular velocity of bar AE = 5 rad/s
Hence, velocity of point P perpendicular to bar BD:
v_perpBD = w*r*sin(theta+phi) - u*cos(theta+phi)
Hence, angular velocity of bar BD:
d(phi)/dt = w' = v_perpBD/r'
w' = {w*r*sin(theta+phi) - u*cos(theta+phi)}/r'
From triangle ABP, by sine ...

- " In question 2, you incorrectly add in the $3.00 dividend that was just paid to determine the value of the stock price using the dividend discount model. In question 4 response, it should have also been recognized that dividend discount models are not useful if any of the parameters used in the model are inaccurate. "
