A spool of mass 60 kg is supported on two rollers at A and B as shown in Figure Q1(c). Neglect the mass of the inelastic cable, friction and the mass of the rollers at A and B. Knowing that a constant pulling force P is applied in order to unwind 6 m of cable in 3 s starting from rest. The radius of gyration for the spool is (600) mm. (i) Determine the angular acceleration of the spool. (ii) Determine the pulling force P.
