**Educational Text on Angular Acceleration**

---

A horizontal force of \( P = 100 \, \text{N} \) is applied to a 250-kg reel of cable. The reel rests on rollers at points \( A \) and \( B \) and has a radius of gyration of \( k_0 = 0.6 \, \text{m} \).

**Exercise: Part A**

Determine its initial angular acceleration.

**Instructions:**

Express your answer using three significant figures. Enter a positive value if the angular acceleration is clockwise, or a negative value if it is counterclockwise.

**Input:**

\[ \alpha = \, \text{rad/s}^2 \]

**Figure Description:**

- A large cylindrical reel has a radius of 1 meter and is mounted on rollers at points \( A \) and \( B \).
- A horizontal force \( P \) is applied to the right, along a line at the edge of the reel.
- The angle formed by the horizontal line from the center to \( P \) and the radius is \( 20^\circ \).
- The reel is shown with its radius and the location of its center, \( O \).
- The distance from the center \( O \) to the location of force application is 0.75 meters.

**Graphical Elements:**

- The reel is depicted resting on two support rollers, labeled \( A \) and \( B \).

**Feedback and Submission:**

- Users are encouraged to submit their calculated angular acceleration and can request the correct answer if needed.
- An option to provide feedback is available.
