Question: Problem 4 ( 2 5 pts ) The end of a rope, which is wrapped around the inner radius of a spool, is being pulled

Problem 4(25 pts)
The end of a rope, which is wrapped around the inner radius of a spool, is being pulled with force P at an angle . The spool is composed of two rings that each contact the ground (analogous to how we treat the two rear wheels on a car). The spool has a moment of inertia IG=m(ri2+ro2) where ri=3R4 and ro=R. The spool rolls without slipping on the fixed ground. Determine:
(a) the acceleration of the mass center in terms of P,m, and ,
(b) the angular acceleration of the spool in terms of P,m,, and R,
(c) and the friction at the contact point between the spool and ground in terms of P and .
From your answers, determine the angle at which the acceleration of the mass center is zero.
