In the Fig.3.37, the washer is sliding outward on the rod with a velocity of \(1.2 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\) when distance from point \(O\) is \(0.6 \mathrm{~m}\). Its velocity along the rod is increasing at the rate of \(0.9 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}\). The angular velocity of rod is \(5 \mathrm{rad} / \mathrm{s}\) counter-clockwise and its angular acceleration is \(10 \mathrm{rad} / \mathrm{s}^{2}\) clockwise. Determine the absolute acceleration of a point on the washer.
