Meriam, Kraige & Bolton — Kinematics of Particles: Problem 2_197

2/197 Body A is released from rest in the position shown and moves downward causing body B to lift off the support at C. If motion is controlled such that the magnitude \( a_{B/A} = 2.4 \text{ m/s}^2 \) is held constant, determine the amount of time it takes for body B to travel 5 m up the incline and the corresponding speed of body A at the end of that time period. The angle \( \theta = 55^\circ \).
