P6-3

If the green bin were moved to the right, the garments on the overhead garment handling system would slide across the top of the bin before lifting off of it. This scenario is shown to the right of the picture. Assuming the garment is rigid and 40in long, determine the velocity and acceleration of the point in contact with the bin and angular acceleration of the garment at the instant shown. Should the garment be accelerating clockwise or counterclockwise?
