Let's break down and solve the problem step by step.
---
## **Given**
- Particle \( P \) moves along a fixed circle of radius \( R \):
\( x^2 + y^2 = R^2 \)
- The slot guiding \( P \) moves horizontally:
\( x = b \sin(\omega t) \)
- Parameters:
\( R = 50 \) mm, \( b = 40 \) mm, \( \omega = 5\pi \) rad/s
---
## **Step 1: Show Unit Vectors \( \mathbf{i} \) and \( \mathbf{j} \) in a Sketch**
- \( \mathbf{i} \): Unit vector along \( x \)-axis (to the right).
- \( \mathbf{j} \): Unit vector along \( y \)-axis (upwards).
You can sketch these on the provided diagram as arrows from the origin:
- \( \mathbf{i} \) points to the right (horizontal).
- \( \mathbf{j} \) points up (vertical).
---
## **Step 2: Find Cartesian Components of Velocity and Acceleration**
### **A. Position of P**
Given:
- \( x = b \sin(\omega t) \)
- \( x^2 + y^2 = R^2 \Rightarrow y = \sqrt{R^2 - x^2} \)
So,
\[
\mathbf{r}_P = x\,\mathbf{i} + y\,\mathbf{j}
\]
\[
x = b \sin(\omega t)
\]
\[
y = \sqrt{R^2 - b^2 \sin^2(\omega t)}
\]
---
### **B. Velocity of P**
\[
\mathbf{v}_P = \frac{d\mathbf{r}_P}{dt} = \dot{x}\,\mathbf{i} + \dot{y}\,\mathbf{j}
\]
Where:
\[
\dot{x} = b\omega \cos(\omega t)
\]
\[
y = \sqrt{R^2 - x^2}
\]
So,
\[
\dot{y} = \frac{d}{dt}\left[\sqrt{R^2 - x^2}\right] = \frac{1}{2}\left(R^2 - x^2\right)^{-1/2} \cdot (-2x\dot{x}) = -\frac{x\dot{x}}{\sqrt{R^2 - x^2}}
\]
Substitute \(x = b\sin(\omega t)\), \(\dot{x} = b\omega\cos(\omega t)\):
\[
\dot{y} = -\frac{b\sin(\omega t) \cdot b\omega\cos(\omega t)}{\sqrt{R^2 - b^2\sin^2(\omega t)}}
= -\frac{b^2\omega\sin(\omega t)\cos(\omega t)}{\sqrt{R^2 - b^2\sin^2(\omega t)}}
\]
So,
\[
\boxed{
\mathbf{v}_P = b\omega\cos(\omega t)\,\mathbf{i} - \frac{b^2\omega\sin(\omega t)\cos(\omega t)}{\sqrt{R^2 - b^2\sin^2(\omega t)}}\,\mathbf{j}
}
\]
---
### **C. Acceleration of P**
\[
\mathbf{a}_P = \ddot{x}\,\mathbf{i} + \ddot{y}\,\mathbf{j}
\]
\[
\ddot{x} = -b\omega^2\sin(\omega t)
\]
For \(\ddot{y}\), differentiate \(\dot{y}\):
\[
\dot{y} = -\frac{x\dot{x}}{y}
\]
So,
\[
\ddot{y} = \frac{d}{dt} \left(-\frac{x\dot{x}}{y}\right)
= -\frac{\dot{x}\dot{x} + x\ddot{x}}{y} + \frac{x\dot{x}\dot{y}}{y^2}
\]
Plug in values:
- \(\dot{x} = b\omega\cos(\omega t)\)
- \(\ddot{x} = -b\omega^2\sin(\omega t)\)
- \(x = b\sin(\omega t)\)
- \(y = \sqrt{R^2 - b^2\sin^2(\omega t)}\)
- \(\dot{y}\) as above
Thus,
\[
\ddot{y} = -\frac{[\dot{x}^2 + x\ddot{x}]}{y} + \frac{x\dot{x}\dot{y}}{y^2}
\]
---
## **Step 3: Evaluate at \( t = \)**
- \( \sin() = \), \( \cos() = 1 \)
\[
x =
\]
\[
y = R = 50\,\text{mm}
\]
\[
\dot{x} = b\omega = 40 \times 5\pi = 200\pi\,\text{mm/s}
\]
\[
\dot{y} = \quad (\text{since } \sin() = )
\]
\[
\ddot{x} =
\]
\[
\dot{x}^2 = (200\pi)^2
\]
\[
x\ddot{x} =
\]
\[
\ddot{y} = -\frac{(200\pi)^2}{50}
\]
---
### **Final Answers at \( t = \):**
#### **Velocity:**
\[
\boxed{
\mathbf{v}_P = (200\pi)\,\mathbf{i} + \,\mathbf{j}\ \text{mm/s}
}
\]
#### **Acceleration:**
\[
\boxed{
\mathbf{a}_P = \,\mathbf{i} - \frac{(200\pi)^2}{50}\,\mathbf{j}\ \text{mm/s}^2
}
\]
Numeric value for \( \mathbf{a}_P \):
\[
(200\pi)^2 = 40000 \pi^2 \approx 40000 \times 9.87 = 394800
\]
\[
\frac{394800}{50} = 7896
\]
So:
\[
\boxed{
\mathbf{a}_P = \,\mathbf{i} - 7896\,\mathbf{j}\ \text{mm/s}^2
}
\]
---
## **Summary Table**
| Quantity | Expression | Value at \( t = \) |

| \( \mathbf{v}_P \) | \( b\omega\,\mathbf{i} \) | \( 200\pi\,\mathbf{i} \) mm/s |
| \( \mathbf{a}_P \) | \( -\frac{\dot{x}^2}{R}\,\mathbf{j} \) | \( -7896\,\mathbf{j} \) mm/s\(^2\) |
