Question 81
XE-DMCQ2 marksNeeds review
The point Q of a thin rigid equilateral triangular plate PQR is constrained to move in a horizontal channel. Point P of the same plate is constrained to move in the vertical channel as shown in the figure. The length of the side PQ is 4 m.
At the instant when the angle
rad and the velocity of point Q in the positive x direction is 20 m/s, which one of the following options is the magnitude of the angular velocity vector of the line SR on the plate in rad/s?
