(b) In the mechanism shown in the Figure Q2(b), the wheel rolls without slipping on the horizontal surface. Pin P is fixed to the wheel but slides freely within the slotted link. For the instant shown, when O is directly under point C and θ=30∘, the piston of the hydraulic cylinder moves to the left with a velocity vA=4 ms which is decreasing at 2 ms−2. Determine the velocity and acceleration of point P, and the angular velocity and the angular acceleration of the slotted link.
