Engineering Mechanics - KOP: Force and Acceleration - Discussion

A smooth can C, having a mass of 2 kg, is lifted from a feed at A to a ramp at B by a forked rotating rod. If the rod maintains a constant angular motion of = 0.5 rad/s, determine the force which the rod exerts on the can at the instant = 30°. Neglect the effects of friction in the calculation. The ramp from A to B is circular, having a radius of 700 min.
