**Problem Statement:**A uniform rod BC of mass 4 kg is connected to a collar A by a 250-mm cord AB. Neglecting the mass of the collar and cord, determine:(a) The smallest constant acceleration \( a_A \) for which the cord and the rod lie in a straight line.(b) The corresponding tension in the cord.**Diagram Explanation:**The illustration depicts a mechanical system consisting of a rod BC and a collar A. A cord AB connects the collar to the rod. The diagram details the following measurements:- The length of cord AB is 250 mm.- The vertical distance from point B to the point directly below A is specified as 400 mm.- The complete vertical length from point A to C is noted as 350 mm.In the diagram:- The collar A experiences a horizontal acceleration denoted as \( a_A \).- There is an applied force \( P \) acting horizontally on the collar.The goal is to calculate the minimum acceleration \( a_A \) necessary for the cord and rod to maintain alignment in a straight line, as well as the corresponding tension in the cord.
