RP4-16) A cord is wrapped around the inner hub of a wooden spool. The end of the cord is attached to a fixed horizontal support. The spool is released and allowed to fall under the influence of gravity as the cord unwinds. Assuming that the spool does not sway back and forth, determine the velocity of point A for the instant shown where the speed of the center of the spool (point O) has reached 5 ft/s.
RP4-17) The ball shown rolls without slipping and has an angular velocity and angular acceleration of 6 rad/s and 4 rad/s2, respectively, with the directions shown in the figure. Determine the acceleration of point B at this instant.
