In a single link robotic arm the end-effector slides upward along the link with a velocity of 0.5 m/s while the link rotates about revolute joint with an angular speed of 1 rad/sec. When the end-effector is at a distance of 1 m from the joint, the acceleration experienced by the end-effector will be
(a) 1 m/s^2
(b) 1.41 m/s^2
(c) 1.71 m/^2
(d) 2 m/^2
This question was addressed to me in an online quiz.
My doubt stems from Velocities in a Slider Crank Mechanism and Motion of a Link topic in chapter Velocity in Mechanisms of Machine Kinematics
