A disc is centered at the origin and is free to rotate about its center. A rod is attached to the disc at point and to another rod that can only move horizontally along the -axis, at point . Both and are revolute joints. If , and the disc rotates at a constant angular velocity of , where is the counter clockwise angle that makes with the positive -axis, find the velocity of point , when , where , in , and is the -coordinate of point A ( is negative).
