Problem 6.115
A spool with inner radius
RD5ft
is made to roll without slip over
a horizontal rail as shown. If the cable on the spool is unwound
in such a way that the free or vertical portion of cable remains
perpendicular to the rail, determine the angular acceleration of the
spool and the acceleration of the spool’s center
O
. The vertical
component of the velocity of point
A
is
vAD12 ft=s
, and the
vertical component of its acceleration is aAD2ft=s2.
