The magnitude of tangential acceleration is equal to

(a) velocity^2 x crank radius

(b) velocity^2/ crank radius

(c) (velocity/ crank radius)^2

(d) velocity x crank radius^2

I have been asked this question during an online interview.

The question is from Method of Locating Instantaneous Centres in a Mechanism topic in chapter Velocity in Mechanisms of Machine Kinematics

Right choice is (b) velocity^2/ crank radius

To explain I would say: The magnitude of tangential acceleration is equal to velocity^2/ crank radius.

The magnitude of the Corioli’s component of acceleration of a slider moving at velocity V on a link rotating at angular speed ω is 2Vω.
