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.

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. (iii) Explain with calculation on ways to increase the acceleration of cable
being pulled.
