Answer

$\omega_{BC}=8.66 rad/s \circlearrowleft$ $\omega_{AB}=4 rad/s \circlearrowright$

Work Step by Step

The required angular velocity can be determine as follows: $v_C=\omega_{CD} r_{CD}=4(0.5)=2m/s$ $v_B=\omega_{AB} r_{AB}=\omega_{AB}(1)=\omega_{AB}$ Similarly $r_{IC/B}=\frac{4}{cos30}=0.4619m$ and $r_{IC/C}=0.4tan30=0.231m$ We know that $v_C=\omega_{BC}r_{IC/C}=0.231\omega_{BC}$ This simplifies to: $\omega_{BC}=8.66 rad/s \circlearrowleft$ Similarly $v_B=\omega_{BC} r_{IC/B}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $\omega_{AB}=(8.66)(0.4619)=4 rad/s \circlearrowright$
