The man pulls the rope off the reel with a constant force P in the direction shown. If the reel has weight W and radius of gyration k_G about the trunnion (pin) at A, determine the angular velocity of the reel at time t starting from rest. Neglect friction and the weight of rope that is removed.

Given: P = 8 lb W = 250 lb KG = 0.8 ft t = 3 s 8 9 = 60 deg r = 1.25 ft 8 = 32.2 2 S
