To calculate: The acceleration
Answer to Problem 59E
The required acceleration vector is
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The value of
The value of
Calculation:
The given value of
It is known that the acceleration vector is
The slope of the velocity vector is
It is known that the slope of a velocity vector is a negative reciprocal of the slope of the acceleration vector.
Thus, the slope of the acceleration vector is
This means that the vector are orthogonal.
Hence, the required acceleration vector is
