The bead shown is sliding around a

circular ring 3 m in diameter. At the instant

shown ( 30 ), the speed of the bead is v =

2

4 m/s and the speed is increasing at a rate

of v = 5 m/s². Determine the acceleration

(magnitude and direction) of the bead.

1.5m

given the components use

right triangle geometry to determine

the angle.
