Solution

1. Break Down the Problem

To find the acceleration of point C with respect to point B, we first need to understand the motions of A and B. Both A and B are moving with acceleration 'a'. We will establish the relationship between the accelerations.

2. Relevant Concepts

  • The acceleration of C with respect to B can be calculated using vector addition if A and B are moving in a constrained manner to C.
  • The formula for relative acceleration is given by: aC/B=aCaB a_{C/B} = a_C - a_B

3. Analysis and Detail

Assuming that A and B are moving in a similar direction:

  1. Acceleration of B is aB=a a_B = a .
  2. Assuming C's acceleration is influenced by both A and B, let’s denote aC a_C depending on the configuration shown in the diagram.
  3. If C accelerates more due to the combination of the motions of A and B, for example, if C's acceleration equals the sum of the two: aC=a+a a_C = a + a Thus, aC=2a a_C = 2a
  4. Hence, the relative acceleration from B to C would be: aC/B=aCaB=2aa=a a_{C/B} = a_C - a_B = 2a - a = a

If from another viewpoint C is accelerating at a vector influenced by both A and B (consider angles and vector directions), then we might get:

  • To analyze geometrically (in two dimensions), if both movements create a hypotenuse, C could be experiencing aC/B=a2+a2=a2 a_{C/B} = \sqrt{a^2 + a^2} = a\sqrt{2}

4. Verify and Summarize

Given the nature of the vectors:

  • If C is simpler than originally assessed, from parallel motion, then it follows that:
    • In linear analysis and assuming angle vectors in this scenario which, with resulting acceleration against resultant direction, logically leads to C C being like effectively acceleration of 2a 2a or its adjusted configuration.

Final Answer

Considering the diagram and calculations, the acceleration of C with respect to B is: Final Answer: 2a (if straightforward) or a2 if in terms of directional contributions. \text{Final Answer: } 2a \text{ (if straightforward)} \text{ or } a\sqrt{2} \text{ if in terms of directional contributions.}

If there is conflicting direction in acceleration contributions or a clearer picture, no direct answer is provided here thus summarize your options aligned on geometrical contributions based on vector settings accordingly:

  • Correct choices then may be assessed as related, possibly indicating 2a \sqrt{2} a or simply directional combinations thereof. Without specific configurations as given, leave it at stated positional assumptions. Adjust according to diagrams where noted directly.
