a particle of mass m kg is moving along
a smooth wire that is fixed in a plane.
The polar equation of the wire is
r = ae^(3θ) . The particle moves with a cons
tant velocity of 6. At time t = 0 , the par
ticle is at the point with polar equation
(a,θ)
a)Find the transverse and radial compo
nents of the acceleration of the particle
in terms of a and t.
b) the resultant force on the particle is
F. Show that the magnitude of F at time
t is 360mae^(18t)
