A slender rod through the origin of the polar coordinate plane rotates (in the plane) about the origin at the rate of 3 rad /min. Abeetle starting from the point (2, 0) crawls along the rod towardthe origin at the rate of 1 in.>min.a. Find the beetle’s acceleration and velocity in polar form whenit is halfway to (1 in. from) the origin.b. To the nearest tenth of an inch, what will be the length of thepath the beetle has traveled by the time it reaches the origin?
