In a Do-Nothing Machine, two sliders are confined to perpendicular channels and are connected by a rod. The rod can be rotated, causing the sliders to move back and forth in their respective channels. Suppose that the channels line up with the c- and y-directions and that the slider in the 2-channel has velocity U, at some instant. Let @ be the instantaneous angle of the connecting rod with respect to the x-direction. The length of the rod between the two sliders is L. Find an expression for the instantaneous velocity Vy of the slider in the y-channel. Express your answer in terms of Uz L, and e. Vy= cot(C)vx
