Question: An accelerometer ( body OCA ) is installed in a vehicle moving at constant acceleration a at an angle to the horizontal ( Figure 2

An accelerometer (body OCA) is installed in a vehicle moving at constant acceleration a at
an angle to the horizontal (Figure 2). The accelerometer's mass is m=2(1+0.2)Kg,
and C is its centre of mass. The torsional spring applies a moment Mo=10(1-0.1)Nm,
to ensure a larger contact force. Find the value of a at which the electric contact will open.
