Question:

The 25-mm-thick uniform steel plate is being pulled very slowly into position by the cable connected to a winch. If the cable breaks at the instant represented, what are the force under each roller and the acceleration aG of the center of mass? Neglect friction and the mass of the rollers, and consider the rollers small. Evaluate your results for a = 3 m, b = 6 m, and r = 6 m. (Note: Arc BC is of radius r, the same as arc BD.)
