Rod OA rotates counterclockwise at a constant angular rate ??=9.4(rad/s). The double collar B is pin connected together such that one collar slides over the rotating rod and the other collar slides over the circular rod described by the equation r=2.4cos(?) (meters) . If both collars have a mass of 1.5kg, determine the force which the circular rod exerts on one of the collars at the instant ?=45?. Motion is in the vertical plane (gravity comes into play). Give the answer to the nearest Newton. (no decimals)
