Angular acceleration of a link can be determined by dividing the

A centripetal component of acceleration with length of link
B tangential component of acceleration with length of link
C resultant acceleration with length of link
D all of the mentioned

Correct Answer: tangential component of acceleration with length of link

The angular acceleration of the link AB is obtained by dividing the tangential components of the acceleration of B with respect to A to the length of the link.
