\begin{wrapfigure}[7]{r}{0.4\textwidth} \vspace{-10pt} \includegraphics[width = 0.4\textwidth] {2017-lahg-10-delta.pdf} \end{wrapfigure} In the given figure a hinged construction is pictured, it consists of two rods with a length 2l2l. One of the rod’s tip is fixed to an unmoving point AA and the other rod’s tip CC moves with a constant velocity vv along a direction which passes the point AA at the distance ll. Find the acceleration of the connection point BB of the rods during the moment when the distance between the points AA and CC is 2l2l.
