At the instant under consideration, the cable attached to the cart of mass m₁ is tangent to the circular path of the cart. If the upward speed of the cylinder of mass m₂ is v₂ = 1.2 m/s, determine the acceleration of m₁ and the tension T in the cable. What would be the maximum speed of m₂ for which m1 remains in contact with the surface? Use the values R = 1.75 m, m₁ = 0.4 kg, m₂ = 0.6 kg, and β = 30°.
