Question: --- The Cat Problem--- A 20-ft ladder leans agains a wall as shown, and a cat is on the ladder 6ft away from end B.

--- The Cat Problem--- A 20-ft ladder leans agains a wall as shown, and a cat is on the ladder 6ft away from end B. For the given position, the velocity of end B is 6 fps downward and the acceleration of B is 7 fps? downward. The cat has a velocity relative to the ladder of 9 fps along the ladder toward B and an acceleration relative to the ladder of 2 fps? along the ladder toward A. Determine the absolute acceleration and the Coriolis acceleration of the cat. (Both ends of the ladder remain in contact with the surfaces)
