A 4-kg uniform slender rod AB is held in position by two ropes and the link CA which has a negligible weight. After rope BD is cut the assembly rotates in a vertical plane under the combined effect of gravity and a 6N ?? m couple M applied to link CA as shown. Determine, immediately after rope BD has been cut,

(a) The acceleration of rod AB,

(b) The tension in rope EB.
