PLANE MOTION AND ROLLING BODIES  

The 80lb plank shown in figure, rests on
two cylindrical rollers with radius r each
weighing 30lbs. Calculate the force P
that will accelerate the plank up the
incline at 6ft/s². Assume no slipping
occurs either at the plank or at the
incline.
20°
Using the same figure above, if the force P is removed, compute the
acceleration of the plank.
