Problem 13-107 Dynamics Hibbeler 13th (Chapter 13) Engineering Dynamics

Equations of motion: Cylindrical Coordinates The forked rod is used to move the smooth 2-lb particle around the horizontal path in the shape of a limacon, r = (2 + cos(theta)) ft. If theta = 0.5t^2 rad/s, where t is in seconds, determine the force which the rod exerts on the particle at the instant t = 1 s. The fork and path contact the particle on only one side.
