if we know the angular velocity of the gear on the left, as well as their current distance from contact point, what can we say about the velocity of the right rod at the contact point at anytime t?
we know it is not just the velocity of the contact point of the left rod because the right rod can be sliding along the left rod. but how do we find its exact velocity?
