An instantaneous configuration of a four-bar mechanism, whose plane is horizontal, is shown in the figure below. At this instant, the angular velocity and angular acceleration of link Q2 A are ω = 8 rad/s and α = 0, respectively, and the driving torque (T) is zero. The link Q2 A is balanced so tht its centre of mass falls at O2.
at the same instant, if the component of the force in joing A and AB is 30N, then the magnitude of the joint reaction at O2
(a) is zero (b) is 30 N
(c) is 78 N
(d) cannot be determined from the given data
