Kinematics Problem : Disc/Rod assembly

A disc is centered at the origin O ( 0 , 0 ) O(0,0) and is free to rotate about its center. A rod P A PA is attached to the disc at point P P and to another rod that can only move horizontally along the x x -axis, at point A A . Both P P and A A are revolute joints. If O P = 50 c m , P A = L = 150 c m \overline{OP} = 50 cm , \overline{PA} = L = 150 cm , and the disc rotates at a constant angular velocity of ω = d θ d t = 0.25 r a d / s e c \omega = \dfrac{d\theta}{dt} = 0.25 rad/sec , where θ \theta is the counter clockwise angle that O P OP makes with the positive x x -axis, find the velocity v v of point A A , when θ = 3 π 4 \theta = \dfrac{3 \pi}{4} , where v = d x d t v = \dfrac{dx}{dt} , in c m / s e c cm / sec , and x x is the x x -coordinate of point A ( x x is negative).

Note: The answer is a negative number.


The answer is -10.98.
