### Particle Motion in Circular Path

A particle is traveling counterclockwise in a circle of radius \( r = 2.00 \, \text{m} \). At some instant in time, the particle is located by the angular coordinate \( \alpha = 24.0^\circ \). The total acceleration has a magnitude of \( a = 20.0 \, \text{m/s}^2 \) and is directed at an angle \( \beta = 20.0^\circ \) with respect to the radial coordinate. Determine the following at this instant. (Express your answer in vector form.)

#### Graph Explanation:

The provided diagram shows a circle with the particle's position and motion vectors. Key components on the diagram include:

- \( \vec{r} \) (position vector) pointing from the origin to the particle's location on the circle.
- \( \alpha \) (angular coordinate) which denotes the angular position of the particle.
- \( \vec{v} \) (velocity vector) which is tangential to the circle at the particle's location.
- \( \vec{a} \) (acceleration vector) making an angle \( \beta \) with the radial direction.
  
The coordinate system used includes:
- \( x \) and \( y \) axes forming a Cartesian plane.
- The corresponding position, velocity, and acceleration vectors.

#### Questions:

(a) **Position Vector**
\[ \vec{r} = \, \underline{\hspace{1cm}} \, \text{m} \]

(b) **Velocity**
\[ \vec{v} = \, \underline{\hspace{1cm}} \, \text{m/s} \]

(c) **Total Acceleration**
\[ \vec{a} = \, \underline{\hspace{1cm}} \, \text{m/s}^2 \]

Provide answers considering the provided parameters and the diagram for vector calculations.
