Meriam, Kraige & Bolton β Kinematics of Particles: Problem 2_98
2/98 The particle $P$ starts from rest at point $A$ at time $t = 0$ and changes its speed thereafter at a constant rate of $2g$ as it follows the horizontal path shown. Determine the magnitude and direction of its total acceleration (a) just before it passes point $B$, (b) just after it passes point $B$, and (c) as it passes point $C$. State your directions relative to the $x$-axis shown (CCW positive).
π Solution Approach
Given: 2g
Find: (a) just before it passes point $B$; (b) just after it passes point $B$; (c) as it passes point $C$
