Subtopic: Measurement of force, stress, torque, speed, displacement and acceleration on machine elements – shafts, couplings, keys, bearings and knuckle joints
Question Statement:
A slider is moving on a straight link at a sliding velocity of 0.5 m/s. The straight link is pivoted at one end and makes angular movement at a rate of 1.0 rad/s. The Coriolis acceleration of the slider, in m/s², is:
Options:
(A) 0.25
(B) 0.50
(C) 1.00
(D) 4.00
Official Answer Key:
C
Step-by-Step Solution & Explanation
Coriolis acceleration: a_cor = 2 ω v_slider = 2 × 1.0 rad/s × 0.5 m/s = 1.00 m/s². Answer: C. (Common distractor B = 0.5 arises from omitting the factor of 2.)
