The Polar Bear and Gorilla are connected via three ropes and an elaborate pulley system.
Determine (a) πΜ EM, (b) πΜ EM, (c) the acceleration of the Gorilla in the x-y coordinate
system, and (d) the acceleration of the Polar Bear relative to the Gorilla in the x-y
coordinate system.
ANSWERS: πΜ EM = -0.375 m/s, πΜ EM = 0.125 m/s2, aM = (1.51 ΰ¬Μ + 1.27 ΰ¬Μ) m/s2,
aA/M = (-0.51 ΰ¬Μ - 1.27 ΰ¬Μ) m/s2
