Answer

$v_C=1.34m/s$

Work Step by Step

The required can velocity be determined as follows: $\frac{0.5}{sin45}=\frac{r_{B/IC}}{sin60}$ This simplifies to: $r_{B/IC}=0.61237m$ and $v_B=\omega_{AB}r_{AB}$ $\implies v_B=6\times 0.2=1.2m/s$ The angular velocity of $BC$ can be determined as $\omega_{BC}=\frac{v_B}{r_{B/IC}}=\frac{1.2}{0.61237}=1.959rad/s$ Similarly, $\frac{0.5}{sin45}=\frac{r_{C/IC}}{sin75}$ This simplifies to: $r_{C/IC}=0.683m$ Now $v_C=\omega_{BC}r_{IC/IC}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $v_C=(1.959)(0.683)=1.34m/s$
