Math Problem Statement
Solution
To find the coordinates of Point at seconds, we need to analyze the rotation of Point around the origin.
Given Information:
- The wheel has a radius of cm.
- Point is attached to a rod of length cm, with being free to slide horizontally.
- The wheel rotates at revolutions per second counterclockwise.
- At , the rod is horizontal, with located at .
Step-by-Step Solution:
-
Calculate the angle at sec:
- The wheel completes revolutions per second, meaning each revolution takes seconds.
- In seconds, the angle rotated is:
-
Determine coordinates of Point :
- Since the radius of the wheel is cm, and the wheel rotates counterclockwise, the new position of forms an angle of with the positive -axis.
- Therefore, the coordinates of at sec are:
- So, is at .
-
Determine coordinates of Point :
- Point lies horizontally to the right of , at a distance of cm.
- Since is at , 's -coordinate will be , and its -coordinate will be the same as 's -coordinate, which is .
Final Answer:
- Point coordinates:
- Point coordinates:
