Homework Statement
The small end rollers of the 3.6 kg uniform slender bar are constrained to move in the slow, which lies in a vertical plane. A the instant theta=30 the angular velocity of the bar is 2 d/sunter-clockwise. Determne the angular acceleration of the bar,k the reaction at A and B, and the acceleration of point A and B under the action of the 26 N force P. Neglect the friction and the mass of the small rollers.

The Attempt at a Solution
Ok so I'm having problems starting this problem. I was thinking that I could set my coordinate so that the x-axis is in line with the 26N force P and do a sum of the forces in the x and y direction and a sum of the moments, but I'm not sure how that would work since I have 2 separate accelerations at point A and B. Would I need to use the equation aB=aA+alpha X rB/A-omega2*rB/A somehow? I think once I figure out how to get started on this question I'll be able to figure out how to solve the rest of it...
