Meriam, Kraige & Bolton β€” Plane Kinematics of Rigid Bodies: Problem 5_40

5/40 It is desired to design a system for controlling the rate of extension $\dot{x}$ of the fire-truck ladder during elevation of the ladder so that the bucket $B$ will have vertical motion only. Determine $\dot{x}$ in terms of the elongation rate $\dot{c}$ of the hydraulic cylinder for given values of $\theta$ and $x$.
