The bent shaft is made to revolve about the vertical axis with a constant angular velocity \omega . The slider of weight W is released from rest relative to the rod at x = 0. Derive the governing equations of motion and determine the distance x as a function of time t after release. Find also the components of the contact force between the shaft and the slider as a function of time. Neglect friction in your calculationsThe wheel of radius

is free to rotate about the bent axle

which turns about the vertical axis at the constant rate

. If the wheel rolls without slipping on the horizontal circle of radius

, determine a) the expressions for the angular velocity

and angular acceleration

of the wheel, b) velocity and acceleration of point

at the instant shown. The

-axis is always horizontal.
