Meriam, Kraige & Bolton — Introduction to Three-Dimensional Dynamics of Rigid Bodies: Problem 7_8

7/8 The rod is hinged about the axis O-O of the clevis, which is attached to the end of the vertical shaft. The shaft rotates with a constant angular velocity \(\omega_0\) as shown. If \(\theta\) is decreasing at the constant rate \(-\dot{\theta} = p\), write expressions for the angular velocity \(\omega\) and angular acceleration \(\alpha\) of the rod.
