Question

(2) 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.
