In the figure shown, the relative velocity of link 1 with respect of link 2 is 12 m/s. Link 2 rotates at a constant speed of 120 rpm. The magnitude of Coriolis component of acceleration of link 1 is

1. 302 m/s²
2. 906 m/s²
3. 604 m/s²
4. 1208 m/s²

Correct Option: A

Velocity of link 1 with respect to link 2,
V^{½ = 12 m/s}

ω =	2πN	=	2π × 120	= 4π
	60		60

∴ Corioli’s component of acceleration

= 2V_½ω = 2 × 12 × 4π
= 301.59 ≈ 302 m/s²
