A 128.8 lb homogeneous plank is placed on two homogeneous, cylindrical rollers, each of weight 32.2 lb. The system is released from rest on a surface inclined 30-degrees to the horizontal (see figure below). Determine the initial acceleration assuming no slipping occurs. Does this initial acceleration change with time?
