Meriam, Kraige & Bolton β Kinetics of Particles: Problem 3_18
3/18 A bicyclist finds that she descends the slope \(\theta_1 = 3^\circ\) at a certain constant speed with no braking or pedaling required. The slope changes fairly abruptly to \(\theta_2\) at point A. If the bicyclist takes no action but continues to coast, determine the acceleration \(a\) of the bike just after it passes point A for the conditions (a) \(\theta_2 = 5^\circ\) and (b) \(\theta_2 = 0\).
