Can someone please help me figure out how to do parts b and c on this? A to B is a straight horizontal portion of length x and B to C is a quarter of a circle with radius r.
The particle P starts from rest at point A at time t = 0 and changes its speed thereafter at a constant rate of 2.4g as it follows the horizontal path shown. Determine the magnitude and direction of its total acceleration (a) just before point B, (b) just after point B, and (c) as it passes point C.
